Digikey and Mouser carry the standard and some of the "Super Bright" LED's.
I haven't found them with the resistors though - had to order them from
overseas (Japan) to get them. Those are also much brighter than the ones
I've found here. Granted, someone in the US probably carries them but I
haven't found them. I've also used multi-faceted LED's which provide a nice
glow instead of a direct light - those work really well for under car
lighting and engine compartment lighting. The actual bulb is cut different
- not just using a mirror base.
Hehehehe....not a fan of Chinese stuff - look closely at a lot of the parts
in your vehicle - "Made in China", "Made in Japan", "Made in Mexico", it's a
global industry now. ;)

They must be pre-packaged for the circuit they're made
for. I'm not sure I've seen them with resistors built
onto the chip!
DigiKey and Mouser are really good places to get LEDs.
Sometimes you can find ones on Ebay straight from
China for next to nothing,like $5.00 per 100. But I'm
not a fan of Chinese stuff.
