Interior LED's.not feelin' it.

So I finally ordered the interior LED's from IJDMToy. I bought the white LED's. I installed them and I just don't care for them. Their not very bright compared to the factory lights.

I'm switching back to the OEM bulbs except for the ones in the door, I do like those for some reason.

There's your problem.

Not all LED's are equal! I thought they were all the same until I tried these.

And here is a guy who put the same ones in his sedan.

Here's some pics I took, they look pretty much completely white in the pics, but in case you pickup any blue, that's just the camera, these are all completely white, I wouldn't have it any other way.

what do you guys think? AMAZING.

Those look much brighter. The "white" leds I bought from IJDMToy have a definite blue look to them, a little ricey in my opinion. Thanks for the heads-up.

I have the same ones and I love them because they are pure white, no blue hue/tint. VERY bright, too.

You can also try v-leds.com, they have good LEDs and their SMT LEDs are quite bright.

I wish I knew this earlier. I just pick up a set of leds from ijdmtoy and they're noticeably bluer than my vleds.

They don't even compare to Halo LEDs.

Halo on the left, vLED on the right. Both SMT's.

Wow, that's a huge difference. But I think the Halo LEDs would be too bright for my liking as I find the SMT vleds to be plenty bright. JMO of course.

They're okay. Nothing to rave about. But they're definitely better than my ijdmtoy leds in comparison to their color output.

If i could do it all over again, I would probably purchase leds from the vendor that Calvin is suggesting. They are a bit pricier, but judging from the pictures they seem to be a lot brighter and "whiter".

Yeah if you're looking for pure white LEDs, Calvin's suggestion is probably the best bet.
I'm looking for 6k LEDs to match my heads so unless that vendor has them, I'll be going with vleds.
