USB lights done

I finished the hacking of the USB notebook lights. Swapped out the white LED for a deep red (660 nm) water clear super bright. Swapped out the 47 ohm resistor for 470. Swapped the masking tape for shrink wrap. Just buttoned up all three.

How can I get one of these for my MacBook ? Is there a red light one available to buy anywhere ? Or is it alway has to be 'taken' by a hacker, for it to become red?

I've not seen red ones available for purchase... And "deep red" ones at 660 nanometres, well, that's just impossible. You need to know the right people!

hmmm.......let's see, do I have a friend who is the 'right person' ? I really really really want one of the impossible 660 nanometres red USB-light. Can you please suggest/volunteer someone, who can help me acquire one ?
