Interior LED Lights
 
Any recommendations for online/local places where I can get good quality led lights for car dome lights/door light/license plate etc?

I've searched around and found some cheap led lights, but unsure of the quality as I don't want the bulb to melt or something...

I've always purchased all my LEDs from eBay (HK sellers, whichever listing is cheapest). The LEDs you get in stores are from the same location anyway, but they drive the price up significantly higher than what they're actually worth.

I've never had any LEDs I purchased from eBay fail on me :thumbs:

Vleds is good too

Akinari 03-10-2013 07:33 PM

autolumination or vleds are both good alternatives if you don't trust eBay.

try sending icemiko a pm, I got mine (license plate lights) off of him for a great price and up till now they are still working perfectly fine and shines a very clear white light that just makes the rear of your car so much more appealing.

Depends, some eBay ones are lame, others are good. HK ones are hit and miss, usually the ones from the US are better. In my experiences, anyway, lol.

10 SMD (I think) 194s from eBay.

If you want insanely bright dome lights, get SMD boards. I also stuffed a 9 SMD board into my license plate ones once, but then took them out since I seriously thought I'd get cop trouble for having them look like reverse lights LOL.

^honestly, I prefer projector led. It is wide angel and bright enough for license plate

kakucaekz 03-11-2013 10:24 AM

Hm, never tried projector LEDs, I guess I'll have to buy a few and see haha.

ExtremeBrightLEDs.com - Automotive LEDs and HIDs with the best Warranty in the market!
ebay user: maple125

he ships out of Canada, plus his leds are lifetime warranty, so when your led burns out, send it back to him and he replaces it for free (you pay shipping though)

a00755836 03-13-2013 07:16 PM

i have ebay leds. even though they are super cheap, they are not the best quality. last pair of license plate led i bought were pretty good. but i wanted brighter ones, so bought another set. it came loose once in the license plate so had to shake my trunk to take it out. lol. i recommend you to find led (license plate type 168/194) at least 8smd.

Cman333 03-14-2013 11:47 AM

hidoutlet.ca AKA Super Garage in Aberdeen or Reaction in Crystal Mall.

You get local warranty.

I've bought online few times to save a few bucks and EVERY time a few are dead. Ended up just buying local and if I get a bad one they just replace it. Sure beats having to mail stuff back and forth, and waiting weeks.

IMO, for the $1 or so you save per LED it's not worth the hassle.

hk20000 03-14-2013 12:21 PM

Thing with projector LEDs is that the bulb has to be pointing outwards or it doesn't do much. On my q45 it didn't really do much. Whereas the same bulb used for reverse on a 05 wrx is blinding.

autolismo.com is local, and will provide what you will actually need rather than over buying.

JesseBlue 05-20-2013 08:43 PM

might be a little late on this but i just get them from dx...a month later it'll get to me which at times i have already forgotten....

dryjesus 05-20-2013 09:19 PM

Ebay has been good for me as well, but usually comes with a 3 week wait. So if you don't want to wait, Autolismo and asr will probably be your best bets.

StylinRed 05-21-2013 12:22 PM
