Default Where to buy LED's?

Anyone know where I can buy bright blue LED's in the 5mm size? I can't find a nice lot for like 70 LED's on ebay, and I'm not a fan of the pre-made strips and stuff. Anyone know where I can get them cheap?

This is for the interior of my car, if your wondering.

Thanks...
$80 for a 100 is still not that cheap...
You know anywhere that sells the 3mm ones for cheaper?
Or do you think the light-up wire stuff will work good?

i got mine from superbrightleds.com, but i dont suggest them, most of the leds i bought and have used have burnt out on me over time, and im not sure why, that is the reason my 350z no longer has the leds under the hood like it used to

Plus they do not sell 3mm leds (xmod size), so in order for the to fit, you have to follow the 5mm led tutorial. Their colors are extremely limited as well, Don't recommend them unless you are making a custom light bar/yellow light bar for on top of your car or truck. After you follow the 5mm tut you cannot go back so just order off of a reliable LED website. I have a pretty good one, that I like to keep to myself Sorry
