Soooo, went ahead and placed a tester order with "V-LEDs" for my license plate bulbs on Dec 19th, No confirmation email sent back regarding order so I said ok I'll check back on site, few days later.. Nothing... Sent them emails regarding order...Nothing! I understand we are in "Holiday mode" but a simple reply would of been a bit professional...
I gave them a call Dec 28th, inquired on order and "customer rep" said oh yeah it's being shipped out tomorrow... I was like tomorrow? Order was place about a week ago!? Customer rep had no answer for me, so I said Ok thanks...
Now, I received order and they sent me this bulb that doesn't even fit in the housing... Its too long! When I go back on their website to check on the actual bulb that I ordered it's no longer in stock... I'm not even going to bother sending it back and get the correct bulb, it's too much of a mission specially with their poor customer service.

What brand LEDs are y'all running?

Now does anybody know where this bulb could fit?


This is not a rant or do I want to bash VLEDs, just sharing my experience!
This type of service is what you can expect on ebay..IJS

 

I,just bought some 25 led 194 bulbs off eBay and no,issues yet.

 

Those could fit in your doors, perhaps. The same bulb base type is in those iirc

 

I have those bulbs. I used them for the Side Markers, Door Panel, and trunk I believe. The License plate bulb I had I used these...they fit..just have to make them fit.

 

yeah its the same bulb for most spots on the car. im sure V-LEDs was just on holiday mode this is the first ive heard of them having bad customer service.

 

Agreed. They always respond to me on time and pretty quickly too.

 

I bought both bulbs below for my license plate lights two weeks ago from Vled's and I got them within a week. They both fit fine in the license plate lights. I decided to use the bulbs in the first link

Fit ?? LOL Dude I have tried everything possible, I stopped trying when I noticed that I was scratching the actual clear Lens cover.... No biggie, I'll search on the org to see what everyone else used!


Shoot me the link!

Yeaa I saw that, I took MaximaGuido09c advice and used them on my side markers...( Pain in the *** to reach)

Yeaaa its all good, I knew I should of ordered before the Holidays but I got trigger happy knowing that was going to be off on Vacation for the rest of year! Im over it though, I went ahead and used them up front as side markers, Hopefully they are brighter at night... Here are some pics



I also went ahead and snipped off one of the middle wires of the turning signal, so that it only turns on when I have the signal light going...then it turns back off leaving no Amber light....I'll post some pics later on tonight!


Thanks for all yall inputssss!
Hope you guys have a SAFE Happy New Year!

THANKS Madmax17,
I'll go ahead and place that order, BUT im going to wait till all is back to normal LOL and the Holiday Festivities are done with!

 

Yo, MaximaGuido09c
If ya dont mind me asking.....
What bulb are ya using for ya front? The one on ya SIG picture is bright as hell!

 

Those are the VLEDs 92LED Switchback Turn Signals. I believe Ghozt and I are both running these in our cars. They are very bright..even in the day time! They are a bit expensive I believe it was $90 or $100 by the time shipping and tax came into play.

I recommend VLEDs over most companies..I recommend joining the mailing list and waiting for the discounts they offer, that's when most of us shop. i have been using VLEDs for 5 years now.

 

aHHHH yea man I read about them so I decided to go with them over Ebay, I guess I just chose to order at the wrong time, Im an idiot I know! But did ya have to install some of those resistors or where they plug n play?

They look good kid...

 

Thanks Man. Yeah you could install resistors..I didn't though. I like the fast blinking to be honest..makes people see my signals quicker and easier..Then again resistors with these bulbs will last longer for sure.

 

Oh ok thanks for the info! I'll see if I place a order, but ima search and see how difficult it is to install the resistors..anyone wanna chime in? Thanks again for the info Guido!

 

Happy to help..Not to difficult to install..just have to remove the bumper to see what you are doing..

 

Ohh I see, what temp HIDs are ya running? Did you go with 6k switchbacks or 5k? I read a review and a custo stated that the 6k matched perfectly with his 10k setup.. I'm running 6k so I wanna make sure that its a close match, these are the ones I'm looking at
http://www.v-leds.com/6K-WHITE-AMBER-DUAL-COLOR-p7472050-1-2.html#ReviewsTabAnchor

 

I believe I am running 6K HIDs. I went with the 6k Switchbacks and they match perfectly with my setup. Yes that link and product are the exact ones I bought. And I see that they are on sale..I wish I could have bought them on sale lol!

 

How much of a pain is it to change out the license plate bulbs on our cars?

 

Ighhhhht that's what's up! Damnnnn that sucks lol

 

Not that difficult man, just pop off the tab on the lining on trunk lid and you'll see the access to the bulbs... I thought it was going to be hard, but it was easy as pie

 

I really like the last pic in your signature. I really want to do that for my car but i have no clue how lol

 

These are the one's that I used for my license plate. They fit great and are very bright. I ordered on Monday and they were in my mailbox Wednesday morning.

Perfect! Are they bright??? 6k temp?

Looks like Vleds are out of stock, I'm looking at autolumination.com switchbacks, are any of y'all running/familiar with their products? Yay or nay?

 

Take a trip to NY where I live..we'll work on it.

You need to connect a switch to the fogs and you have to buy the VLEDs or any other brand Switchbacks!

 

They are very bright, 6500K. They fit inside the housing perfectly! Here is a link for all of the lights.

For people who have LED turn signals, where did you place the load resistors? I heard it gets very hot... I don't want my car melting while I'm in it.

 

Appreciate it homie!

Thnx!

 

I saw this bulbs on Accord forum, seems like they all like this bulbs for the parking lights

http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/sh....php?p=1019094

and this is the purchase link.

Load resistors? I don't have those in my car! Oh no meltdown!

 

wouldn't that cause it to hyper flash then?

 

thanks, will take you up on this offer. Just gotta figure out when lol

 

I just purchased 2 Sylvania LEDriving bulbs for my license plate. They are 6000K and look AMAZING. Each bulb is simply 12V 1W, single LED. The two bulbs light up the back of the car. They are designed for interior and license plate bulb circuits.

I got them from Autozone at 9.99 a piece. It was well worth the 20 bucks! Really easy to install as well. The color is PERFECT.

 

MaxFrost2011,

I saw those at autozone, but I couldn't find anyone online with pics of how they looked. Do you have any pics a night by any chance?

I ended up getting two LED bulbs from Vled's but am very curious about the Sylvania bulbs that you had bought. My only complaint with the Vled bulbs I bought is that they distort the back up camera a little at night

Thanks,

 

Sure, no problem. My camera phone doesn't capture the "true" color. I promise it looks as good or better than our HID's. You can see in the second picture that they light up the entire bottom bumper and the ground across the bumper.

It's amazing that the light output is from only 2 LEDs.

This is at dusk. Showing the difference in light color.

At night, beautiful.

thanks Maxfrost, they look really clear and bright.

 

Lol, ya know of any other place that I can find the switchbacks? Vleds is forever out of stock, I need the CK bulb right?

 

Yeah CK is probably your best bet. You could try Ebay. I do recommend waiting for VLEDs..and doing it the right way. Plus their warranty is awesome!

 

I've seen some on eBay, but haven't come across any CK ones, and on vleds... It's taking forever! Going on a month!

 

Patience is a Virtue my friend. Waiting is sometimes better than buying an Ebay pair of lights and they go out and you never hear from the manufacturer again!

 

Yeah Great people over there and awesome products. I buy all LEDs from them and even do their Google AdWords marketing for them.
