what type of armor are you looking for
No offense, but it's hard to understand you.....
Are you asking for pics 0F Westerfield's armor, or other people's? Are you also asking if people put LEDS in their armor?
If you're asking about the LEDS in the armor check this thread: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/25298-LongShot-X-s-Mark-VI-HD-MJOLNIR-Armor-WIP
Ok yeah if you want the armor and don't care about the satisfaction of making your own - you need to know all your measurements and contact someone a website, as you said, might exist but generally each armor has to be individually sized to the person in question - a "Large" helmet might fit me - but not everyone else, even if "large" has a standard sizing everything follows by.
As for lights, yeah, just head to the DIY (Do it yourself) section about it (*Tayl0r* linked it) and just put them in anything you get ahold of that fits you right.
Honestly though, the greatest thing about this hobby is wearing what you make, do a good job and everyone notices and gives you that extra respect for doing such a great job. Just don't claim you did something when you didn't though, hollow victories really destroy you inside.

Please go to eBay and look for the armor you are interested. This site encourages members to make their own armor. Making and selling, as Zerebin, pointed out are discouraged. Once you become an infantryman, you can see the classifieds. However, you won't see any of the veterans here sell a complete set of armor.
I suggest that MODs lock this thread as well.

If you buy it, it wont be cheap. People charge a lot for their work. I suggest checking Ebay constantly. You may be able to pick up parts here and there until you have a suit, but usually, its someones old suit made to fit them. And chances are, you wont get the whole suit form one seller, which means you will need to paint it once you have it all.
The nature of these suits demand that they are scaled to the person wearing them. If you buy off of ebay, or anywhere really, contact the seller with your measurements to make sure that it will fit.
Even then, you will most likely need to make adjustments. This isnt a fast or cheap hobby, building it yourself is the best (and cheapest) way to get your own set though.
Buying a suit with LEDs will cost you even more, or you can install them on your own if you find a suit that fits.
It IS worth it to watch those videos and do it yourself.
Good luck Arny, whatever you choose!

If I were you, I'd be prepared for a shock on the price anyway. A decent made to measure costume with a really good paint and weathering job could easily cost you in excess of $2,000 USD - then you'll want a weapon too - add another $300 - $400 for something really good and you can see why most people make their own.
