I have a Hornet 553T installed on my truck. The question is the alarm came with a red LED that isn't very bright. My windowns are tinted & it's hard to see the LED at night & almost impossible during the day. I've seen the blue ones that are VERY bright. Is there going to be any problem installing a blue one? In not, what is the brightest one available?

they do make a lot of different color led's........they also make super bright ones, which a lot of the blue ones you see are superbright......if you like the red color then buy one that is a super bright.

How can I find out which super-bright LED's will not hurt my alarm? If so, where can I find them & what brand should I be looking for?
