where to buy led lights?

i want to buy blue LED lights to replace my cornering lights, the light inside the trunk and the license plate lights...any idea where I could get those? at autozone and discount auto parts all i can find is some crappy blue bulb lights that are extremely dim. i want real bright led lights

any help would be great :-)

It's almost 50/50 on whether you get a good bulb or not. One of my switch-backs went, then my license plate bulb, and my other switch-back now; also, quite a few other members have had problems with them too, but some haven't had one issue with them :shrug:

I've had very few issues until recently, in talking with them they suggested to get led protectors:
From them:
"I think what is happening is particular to the Maximas. The switchbacks are getting too much voltage thru those circuits too often, and they are failing prematurely. We are having good luck with them when an led protector is added inline to the circuit."

How much are those? sounds like a scheme that companies put on their waxes and scratch removers..."Repeat as needed," so that you can waste all of the product and buy more.......

If anyone wants my resistors, then they are up for sale, since I sure as hell don't want to splice into my wires and later on be replacing the stuff and re-taping my wiring

Those look exactly like the equalizer things to make the flash rate normal. Jsmith, do YOU have the LED protectors?

Not yet but I plan to buy one more set of switchbacks with the protectors. If I still have a problem then I will be done with them...

$100 on 4 "bulbs" I always think back to the pricing of these things and the shiety quality

jsmith for the taillights all i need are (4) 3157s and (4)protectors? and for the turn signals, (2) 1157s and (2) 3 ohm load equalizers? About how long would you say it'll take?

Correct. The rears, for me since I've done it a bunch of times, probably 20 minutes. The fronts a bit longer since it's a b!tch to get to the lights. Also I'd run the load equalizers in the rear, the 3ohm will cover both front and back. That they they aren't massing up the engine bay and are hidden away...
