They're just peanut bulbs, so anywhere really. You may have to scrape off the tint on the back of the gauge overlay if you want good color. I had to do that to get my gauges to look right when I put blue leds in & it was a PITA. But since you're going red, if you have orange gauges(I did) you should be fine.

There's a website that I ordered my leds from, but I'm damned if I can remember the name of it. It was overpriced anyway though, like $60 for a set of 6 bulbs. All you need are either standard peanut bulbs or leds that will fit peanut bulb sockets. Try pep boys if you have one in your area, they have all colors of led peanut lights.

Autolumination.com- thats where I got mine about 2 years ago. I bought the SRT-4 kit & maybe I just had a bad experience, but not only was it almost $10 a bulb- they included an odd-colored bulb that didn't match the rest(which resulted in an off-color spot on my gauges), one bulb immediately burned out, 2 more followed suit over the next month, and they completely ignored all my emails.

I'd definitely recommend buying elsewhere.
