Yes, one can make their own, but this might save the old eyes!


I did this myself for the large signal strength meter on the RX340. The
blue LEDs looked cool but was just too intense a coloration for me. I
went with the white LEDs that have a blue tint to them and found it much
more pleasing.

I just soldered the leads together, three in series with a voltage
dropping resistor to limit the current. All you have to do is take some
fine sandpaper to scuff up the LED case to disperse the light.
