Do NOT buy there LEDS!! they are CRAP!! first set worked well for me (4-6 mos). I bought 3 more sets (6 bulbs each time) and within 2-3 weeks they went out/flickered. this is not just me, but I know at least 5 other guys in my region who have the same problem. i sent them an email and they basically said send us the bulbs and we'll replace em....i dnot want u to replace i want you to make better bulbs!!

instead i chose www.superbrightleds.com

Superbrightleds.com isn't any better, Actually I think all these guys get their bulbs from the same supplier cuz they look awfully the same. I've been getting led's from these guys for about 2 years now, and have to change em out every 6 months because they start to flicker. I figure they are about 1.99 a pop so its not too much of a loss each time.

EDIT: wow they actually offer a disclaimer now before you enter their website about the LED's failing in the headlamps...go figure.

I have been using these guys for a couple years now and am pretty happy with their products. the chromed bulbs naturally are not as bright as the non chromed. I have the chromed ones and so far they are bright enough and work just fine for me.

I just replaced all the major bulbs on my car with their LED's. So far they work great and I have been happy with them. Can't say if I will need to change them in six months or not but they are sooooo cool right now.

Their chromed amber 7440 blub fit fine for me, no problems and its plenty bright. The chromed 192 wedges were kinda dim and I took them off. I also had their 5 led matrix blub but its not the pure white I was looking for, it gives off a significant blue shade.

Which led's did you buy? I am thinking of putting the LED's in the city lights since I never use the fogs.

Scratch that... Those led's dont do much for side lighting which is how the city lights work. These would be pointless.

I got my 192 and 7440 chromed orange bulbs from autolumination. The bulbs fit fine and work just fine. They are plenty bright to me. Their shipping was fast and their prices are good. I would have no problem buying from them again. I just can't see spending so much for PIAA bulbs for turn signals and a city light, that is going to be dim anyway.

I just ordered the super white inverted lens LED from them for the city light, it should be much brighter then the chromed wedge bulb in there.
