it added up, for the interior, reverse, license plate, glove box, switchback, and rear led turns it was over 150. well worth it though, the quality of the light output of their stuff kicks the *** of the ebay stuff i had, on top of them never having a problem.

The smd 5050's r good bulbs and I've never had one burn out on my other car I had them in for years. If it makes u more comfortable buying VLeds then go for it but I've never had any issues. I'd love to buy the switchbacks but I just see myself spending the money yet.

For all my LED's on my car i spent around $600. This includes the entire inside, glovebox, front and rear turn signals, front and rear side markers and license plate. I probably shouldve went with the stillen lip or something that would make the car look better but this is the first car i've modded and i'm learning.

Edit - I used VLEDs because I researched the forum and seen Ghozt bragging about them. I'm glad I used his advice because these LED's are incredible quality and super bright.

I swapped out only 14 pieces. I haven't gotten to the vanity lights yet and I put Cree bulbs in the reverse lights. Everything was from iJDMtoy and in comparison to the vLED bulbs they are brighter and whiter. It cost me 55 for everything.

I have a hard time believing iJdm LEDs are brighter than VLEDs. I'm gonna have to buy one to compare

Please do! I tried v-LED in my old Maxima. I posted some pics of my LED in another thread. I'll have to find it for you.

I'll vouch for iJDMToy. I've had the lights in for a few months now. No probs whatsoever.

Also have vLEDs for my trunk and license plate. Those have been slightly less than iJDM's.

IMO that kit doesn't look like it's good quality. I bought some ebay LEDs and they flicker and some LEDs were already out on some.

I got VLEDs for my interior swap out but at night I get a soft glow in all of the lights (even when the car is off) so I just keep the switch in the "off" position so I dont really get to use my lights anyone know a solution to this?'"

I keep it in the off position because I am scared it would eventually drain my battery
