Try Neutron electronics on Woodlawn. Call first though, sometimes they can be rude in person.
I know Autosonics had some LED and stuff, can't comment on the quality though.
Electrosonic in Toronto is pretty good also.

If you go to Electrosonic, ask for Steve Watson or Ali Pardan. If you get either of them, tell them you're a friend of Al Marani, Azim & Ellie's son... they'll give you the best customer service ever.

Supremetronics (Queen Street west of much music)
Active Surplus (Just west of supremetronics)
Sayal (http://www.sayal.com)
Active Electronics (http://www.activestores.com)
A1 Electronics

The first two you will get the best band for your buck. Depends on what you aplication is and what you are looking for. If you want the best selection and decent prices, but will have to pay for shipping then its http://www.digikey.ca There catalog is over 1530 pgs. available as a download.

If your looking for already prepared 12V supply then your best bet might be supreme or active surplus.

post what you need it for, specs of the led (voltage and current), colour or colours you want in one led, and I'll guide you in the right direction

Dixie/Matheson (south of the 401) The whole strip mall is filled with electronics shops such as Active Electronics, Sayal, RTC, A&A Electronics... They have all sorts of LED's there

Thanks guys...

Looking at moding my Headlights and a few other things.

you may even find LED's that are pre-assembled into a light cluster, that way, they can be properly used as turn signals with the correct ammount of light concentration/difusion compared to putting in stray LED's beside eachother.

i know that future shop carries them here in sudbury. But that might not be everywhere. I have a set of them, their the hyper LED's, and they are bright! B)
