I had a dud of a bulb sent to me that only lit up halfway. Contacted iJDM and they sent me a new one within 3 days.

I am thinking to order the VLED 5k ones for my backup lights. Is anyone running a full vled setup? Dome lights, door lights, vanity lights, license plate lights...etc.
If so, what bulb did you guys use? and does any know the difference between a normal bulb and a flank bulb?

Flank bulbs are kind of like a led board sorta.
For reverse light you need 921
For interior and license you need 194

and do you guys recommend 6 led or 4 led for the setup? I am thinking maybe 6 led is too bright for interior lights? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated

I emailed VLED and they said to go with the 6LED because it will light up the whole thing, whereas the 4LED will only light up half. My only concern with the 6LED is-----will it be too bright for my tan interior?
I'm thinking of ordering 4 of them in quantity (so a total of 8 bulbs)
Planning on using them for:
All interior lights (except vanity mirror lights)
License plate lights.

They have a live chat service, but it's just about hopeless.
Hopefully you'll hear from them tomorrow or Saturday. For my replacement I had to send a second email to find out, that's when I found out they shipped it out and I got it 2 days later.

Im looking at these: 194 5K WHITE 6 LED HIGH POWER 360° 180LM | 1 PAIR (194 5K WHITE 6 LED HIGH POWER 360° 180LM | 1 PAIR)

Those bulbs are ridiculously expensive at $20/pair and to buy 4 pairs thats $80 on just 8 freaking bulbs.
I don't know what the deal with VLED is but they used to offer a 5 LED 360-style bulb for about $9/pair. This is what I'm currently using in my interior. I went from 360 style bulbs to 12 LED panel boards to high-powered directional LED bulbs and back to 360 style bulbs. All of which were from VLEDs excluding the LED panel boards.
Now they got rid of those and offer these super bright bulbs for $16-$20/pair which is outrageous.
If it were me I would go with the 6 LED for the doors and 4 LED (NOT the flank style) ones for the interior and license plates.
I have these for my license plates and they are pretty damn bright. 5K WHITE 4 LED HIGH POWER BULBS 194 168 158 160LM | 1 PAIR - 194 - 168 - 158 LED - Shop Bulb #
Might be too much for the interior.
Honestly I would suggest you trying to get some LEDs like these for the interior. This is what I have but VLEDs brand (they are discontinued now)
If you want to save some money rather than spending $80 for 8 small ass bulbs you can try Amazon or eBay.... It's a better deal if your not specifically looking for 5k pure white LEDs (amazon/ebay are usually 6k-ish in color)

I just ordered the 30W 800lm Cree's you have listed in your OP vietxquangstah, I'll do a comparison to stock for those interested, I won't be able to get a reverse camera comparison, but for me, have 20% tint in the back and then putting it in reverse, the stocks aren't making things all that visible.

I just purchased and installed the Samsung ones from the original ebay link that OP posted. While the color is more white they are not as bright as the stock bulbs. They are bright enough to provide decent light for the camera, but not as good as stock. I dont understand how some of you with these say they are brighter/better then stock.
The ebay auction says 500 something lumens which is BS!
Disappointed!!

I have the iJDMtoy ones and they're definitely brighter than the stock ones.

VLEDS are quite expensive and I have those in other areas and have problems with them so I dont exactly trust paying so much when the quality is questionable.
I just have an issue with paying so much for marginal upgrades. I dont mind paying for things if I feel they are worth it, in this case paying several times what traditional bulbs cost is difficult for me to swallow when time and time again the quality and brightness of LED's is subpar.

By the way how old are your current vled bulbs that you have problems with?

I feel like my post is invisible in this thread and apparently only Dezy can see it.
There's a post I made a few above this, it compares what I imagine are the original stock bulbs (10 y/o) to the "Cree"(NOT SAMSUNG) LED's Viet linked to in his OP.
If someone wants to Paypal me a few bucks to prove that new Stocks aren't as bright as the Cree's, I'll be happy to oblige.
