>Any LED should work. You probably have your polarity reversed though - the flat side of the LED is the cathode, negative, and the other side is the anode, positive. (I think, I always get the two mixed up.)
In any case, if you look in that thread, the flat side is negative, so make sure your flat side is on the same side as that picture.
Trust me I tried that, it came out of a clock that was AC instead of DC, I don't know if that would make a difference or not but it worked when it was in the clock.....
