Have you used this LED website before?

I hate seeing these threads, but I've been searching for 30 minutes and I can't find an answer to my question.

V-LEDs.com is all out of 7443 Switchbacks and I need some soon because I'm getting my headlights done. I found another website that has them for sale, but I wanted to see if anybody here has used them before. Here's a link:

http://superbrightbulbs.com/switchback.html

I'm not sure if it's legit or not. I guess you could call me overprotective, but I don't want to get scammed or any of that shit.

So any advice on this website? Should I do it even though I've never really heard of them?

I used www.superbrightleds.com for all of my interior/reverse/license plate lighting, but I'm having a hard time finding the switchbacks on their site. I know it's a 7443 Wedge since I have an 04, but I just can't find em

Thanks for the quick responses everybody. I ended up getting my 48-led switchbacks from autolumination.com.

If you look at the threads over some time now you have seen me bash autolumination, and for good reason. Of course it's a free country and you can buy at your own risk. Just know that switchbacks are KNOWN to burn out sooner or later for the majority of us and this company provides us no support. $50 bulbs ain't cheap, you can buy HID kits at that price point nowadays. I hope you stay lucky.

Looking at this new site makes me realize how cunning this company is. superbrightleds is a known and trusted company many of us have used and are happy with. As you mentioned, they don't have a very good selection of bulbs but they are good for other bulbs like loose LEDs and festoons. It's kinda sneaky how this other company named themslves with a name so close to the other one. superbrightbulbs?? And guess what? I can bet money on it that it's the same horse of a different name. The site looks identical to autolumination. I can bet money that they are owned by the same daym people. Sneaky sneaky!

I haven't seen your threads about bashing them . Shit. Well let's see what happens with my order. Hopefully my encounter with them is better than yours was. You are right, they weren't cheap, but they were worth it. I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

And I noticed that the website is pretty much the same as well and that's why I stopped halfway through my order and created this thread. I'm not trying to get scammed.

I can't speak about autolumination's support, as I've never needed it. I bought my corner bulbs and resistors from them over a year ago and they are still going strong. There are good and bad experiences with EVERY company, you just have to do your research and decide which one is best for you.

There are plenty of threads here about all the light companies. There is a very large thread about V-LEDs and I think there is a discount code in there.

Very true. I guess there are good and bad experiences with every company.

I used www.superbrightleds.com for all of my other lighting purchases and they were awesome. Super fast shipping.

I'm expecting the same from www.autoluminations.com. Whenever I get my lights, I'll post on here and tell everybody how it went. I'm sure everything will be fine, but I'm always nervous spending money over the internet, but now a days, that's how you gotta get stuff.

I have some super bright license plate LED's from superbrightleds.com. Can't say much about the customer service from superbrightleds.com because I've never contacted them but they have quality products.

That's where I got my license plate and interior LEDs as well. Great experience with them.

I've used them in the past. If you go to www.superlumination.com, it points you to the same website, same with www.autolumination.com . I found one of those old "Difinitive LED" threads from a while ago, and I ordered some of the bulbs recomended from their site. The bulbs that worked were fine, but the 2 license plate bulbs they sent me started flickering in 2 weeks due to a shitty soldering job on their end, and they basically blamed my car saying that the bulbs were fine, I just have voltage issues with my brand new 2 month old car...right...

rockyfeller, this is the same site as autolumination.com. If you click on order and proceed to the check out, it'll say autolumination at the top left hand corner.
