You can also do the autoillumination bulbs for $6 each. Those would be the 39mm 9 LED bulbs. This is what I have been using for 2+ years now and they are great. They are SUPER bright and you can't beat the price.

Scroll down about a 1/3 of the way and look for: "39mm, 9 LED". Add them to your cart in Super White.

That's a darn good price there Calton. I think I almost paid $25 for 2 bulbs.

They've been looking sharp on the M5 for 2 weeks now.

A few folks at the Best Buy meet last week even asked where I got them. When I told them what I paid, they were floored and have since PM'ed me on M5Board for the same site info.
