Alarm LED in door

Post by bertJ »

Pretty pointless, I know, but I was thinking of replacing the red alarm LED in the driver's door with a blue one. Does anyone know whether the existing LED is of the type that flashes or is there some circuitry that makes it flash?
In other words if I install a standard blue LED will it flash? I don't think you can buy flashing blue LED's.
Incidentally I've found a brilliant USA web site that supplies LED's very cheaply. They are at http://lsdiodes.com

Thanks for that - there's always someone been there before you! I'll give it a go.

I'm sad to report to you that my friend has changed his red LED to cobalt blue and look really cool. I haven't seen any other Polo with this mod though. The problem with this mod is that the LED is red for a reason not to be stating to the obvious. But it does look very nice though :D go for it
