Default Cobra 29 Nighthawk LED conversion


I just picked up a 29 NH ST. Most of the front lights are shot. I've seen people put LED's in.. My question is, specifically, what LED's to use and where is a good (cheap) place to get them?

Try ebay. This lot comes with the resistors you need also:

On ebay there is a guy allenward69 I believe that has a few youtube videos that show his NH and it looks great. You can contact him through ebay and he will tell you how to convert it; and he has the leds to do it, may be a little pricey through him. But I believe he drills holes in the back of the faceplate and inserts 3mm leds and hot glues them in place and runs them in series. He will tell you if you ask him.
