They have pretty nice prices if you're not looking for kits.

Quoted from Spyder99945:

what are some tips on choosing the styles and also the colors? I went with a couple sample packs from pinballlife but you can't get an accurate example by just using one bulb style for one color.

I'd suggest picking a vendor and just order a bulk pack of 100 or 25 whites in flat top warm white. They're the cheapest and you can use them for inserts all day. You will quickly get a sense for whether you like the look of LEDs or not. From there you can start to explore bulb tops and see what you like the best in various locations. As far as colors go, why not order some bulk 25 packs of each color and experiment? It's fun.

I've had great luck with comet so far. The owner is a good guy. He is occasionally out of stuff but clearly indicates it on the site.

Quoted from NickRocco:

1 SMD, 2 SMD or 4 SMD, any thoughts?

It depends on where it's going.

Oh, one more suggestion. Yellow LEDs are not nearly bright enough.

Agreed. It's fun to see what color combinations you like the most. I put purple LEDs in some of the white inserts of a TFTC I was working on. I really like how that turned out.
