Doug, the 5050 SMD lights are available on EBay from many different sources, usually from Hong Kong. I was at first hesitant to order any electrical parts from over there. However previous research on other websites and forums, and also past experience with a couple of sellers I have purchased a few things from, including lights, 12V voltmeters and other electrical items have proven to be good quality and much cheaper (and no shipping fees) then North American sellers who sell the same products.

When I get these particular LED lights delivered, I will post some pics and my thoughts on the quality etc.

I'll send you a PM of the Ebay sellers I use, if you are interested.
