I'm trying to track down some sealed LED lights to make up dash/idiot lights. I've looked at Jaycar online and they've only got red or green but I also need amber and blue. Anyone got any suggestions?

Just buy the chrome bezel units from jacar for around $1:50 and push out the led (there just held in with hot glue usally) and buy what ever colour you want in 5mm led and just hot glue em into the housing mate, I do it all the time. If your worried about a little water getting in through the top just a dob of epoxy on top of the led to fill in the depression works a treat.

Pricey at $7.50ea though.
You could always do what I did and just silicon the LED's in the chrome bezels. I bought a pack of 100 or so chrome bezels off ebay for dirt cheap, like $5 or something. Then I just siliconed the LED's in. I used them as indicators in the number plate and never had any trouble with them in the rain.

On my bikes if i'm looking for indicator display lights etc on the dash I use a standard 12volt Pinhead sized lamp from dick smith's (99 Cents) they are smaller than the head of a match and are really sturdy. Just drill a 1/8th hole in any surface (speedo bracket, handlebars etc and resin them in, when dried attach lamps to said indicator/ high beam etc circuit, then get some cheap glass paint from the local art supply shop and paint them any colour you want. Looks trick as!

I have enough blue/red/green and yellow 10mm 12v pre-wired LED's plus black bezel mounts coming to make 5 sets...1 blue,red,green & 2 yellow.
I had to buy them in packs of 5 so I will be selling the surplus 4 sets at cost price to members.
