anyone know of a store that i can just pop into to pick these bulbs up at (preferrably west toronto)? i've tried looking around but can't find any. one store (performance aftermarket) here in mississauga is selling them at a ridiculous price of 29$ for a pair (they are about 1.30$us/each in the u.s.). any help would be greatly appreciated.

Had the same problem....
I ended up buying from Velocity Leds
They seem to be a good product & standing up pretty well so far.

some guy posted yesterday on these... what you think about em ?

Well first thing the $1.30 ones won't be very bright, I've tried some and are crap you can have mine if you want. I've ended up ordering brighter ones but they are about $13US a pair online. Also they are fine for the clear corners and the license plate in the back. Also the don't work that well in the headlight housing as the heat causes them to burn out in a matter of weeks.
As for local places, I've checked around for PIAAs and they are like $45 a pair, definately not worth it.

Edit - I got mine from Velocity Leds as well, just get their high power ones, forget the cheaper inverted cone ones, they are super dim.

hmmm.. thanks for the info guys. i guess i'm stuck with ordering from the u.s. and waiting. i find it funny that it's so hard to get these up here. u'd think u'd find at least one store up here that would have them. it's frustating for such a simple little thing. oh well.
