>> Hello folks,
>>
>>
>>
>> What have you done for your annunciators on the instrument panels?  Up to
>> this point, I had some naked LEDs mounted on the panel through a hole but
>> they just look crummy.  I would like to put in annunciators with 
>> letterings
>> like "DOOR", "SUMP LOW", "SPD BRK" in a cluster above my PFD.  Honeywell
>> makes the perfect thing but I cannot seem to find anyone who sell them.
>> Mouser, Digikey, etc comes out empty.
