!!*@#*@!* I was only able to buy 9 LED's.. I went to 7 different Radioshacks... Ugh.

Tomorrow the quest will continue. There's a few more radioshacks that I can look for it. Almost there!

Actually, trying to talk to radioshack reps about LED's is more stress and headache.. you dont know who's working there...

One radioshack just pointed me in the direction of the LED's and said its there. Another one said, I dunno what that is, take a look over there. haha.


Also, these radio shacks were in a 4 mile radius. I was driving around doing some other chores too.


anyone, i'm going to call some stores tomorrow, jsut for you.

You can call me your savier.... I have 3 extra leds that I can give you, I bought a Bunch just in case...

I can meet up with you tomorrow and give them to you.

Oh and also per your text. I have an AC/DV converted which pluggs into the outlet and you can test each one as you put them on. i can also lend that to you and the pick that I used...

Lol, I went to Radioshack in Queens today and wasn't able to get any. They said they have 2 in stock on the computer but they couldn't find any. I'm going to order them online.
