I'm bored.... where to buy LEDs?
Hello,
Winter is almost over and my hand's a bit itchy. Looking into replacing some bulbs with LEDs. What do you think of Princess Auto vs. Lordco for LED bulbs? I'm looking for 194 bulbs. Or should I go with US sites like vleds.com or autolumination.com? thanks!

^^ are the lights bright though? I want something significantly brighter, and whiter than the filament bulbs I have right now.

I have a 4 high power LED panel bulb for my dome light. They are a night and day difference compared to my old filament festoon bulb.

I hosted a group buy off of www.superbrightleds.com a while back. Although, they're much better than "stock" bulbs, I don't consider them the best of quality. I'm happy with my lights, but I thought they would've lit up more area.
What do the others think? And those are BRIGHT Darren - $30? |

It depends if you get the 'cool' white or 'warm' white, the 'cool' has a bluish tinge to it while the latter has a bit of yellow.

Yes but not for sale!
I went with black lights in the map lights and the 6 High Powered festoon bulb for the dome light. I have 4 or 5 LED bulb for the trunk light and the licence plate lights and made my own 72 LED for the 3rd brake light! |
