where do you get non-****ty leds for tails?

ive already wasted money on leds that hardly fit and barely work. where do yall get your leds for tails/reverse/blinker that actually fit and make a solid connection? these leds wont even stay lit long enough to go into the lamp.

http://www.v-leds.com/ and http://www.superbrightleds.com/ are some of the best sites to get LED bulbs.

As far as having LEDs retro'd into stock tails, kzoosho is a good guy to go to and Kevlo911 might be down to do them as well. columbianmax got his from kzoosho.

They don't hyperblink? I remember I tried to put LEDs in mine and they did so I removed and sold them. The LEDs also wouldn't work in the front signals.

If you install load resistors they don't.
Like these,
http://www.v-leds.com/BlinkerWarning...83296-1-3.html

I always forget to buy them so I always end up buying them at Autozone for 15 dollars.

Awesome I'll have to get some and get LEDs again. Do these work for the front signals too?
