V-LEDS are having a big discount sale!

OH! It says

CYBER WEEKEND SALE, UP TO 50% OFF ALL IN-STOCK ITEMS! 4 DAYS ONLY (FRIDAY NOV 25 TO MONDAY NOV 28.

FREE STANDARD SHIPPING TO LOWER 48 STATES!!
I'm sorry if you guys are already aware, or if this has been posted already. I did a quick search and didn't see anyone mentioning this!

If you're in the market for LEDs, NOW IS THE TIME!!!

I randomly went to v-leds to look at the selection today only to notice everything is %15-%40 off the original price!!

Not sure how long this is gonna last, it might be a 'black friday' only deal so get your orders in while the sales are still here!

http://www.v-leds.com/194-168-158-LE...orLanding/true

$24.99 LED on sale for only $14.99!

Other LEDs aren't that huge of a discount, but nonetheless it's still a discount!

Thanks for the notice!

Already have LEDs in my interior and license plate from VLEDS bought last year but I bet this deal will be useful for others.

I see. If Whiter is what your going for, than I highly recommend these.

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...22412-1-2.html

I have them for my interior, but when I purchased mines about half a year ago they didn't have the new '3 chip' technology.

The ones I purchased are exactly the same as those, but mines were rated at only 3 out of 5 for brightness. The ones I linked has the new '3 chip' and are rated at 4 out of 5 for brightness.

I can tell you for sure that the ones I have in my car right now are still bright as hell even though they are only rated at 3 of 5 for brightness. I got them for the same price for what the new '3 chip' LEDs are going for... Kinda wished I waited for those but oh well

I think these would be awesome for the domes; I have the 6K as license plate lights right now, and they're wonderful! Moving the 6K to the interior though, and getting a pair of 5K to match the headlights better.
That's a bit over kill IMO. Brightness is 5 out of 5 which is good, but $25/pair ?? No thanks.

I'd rather buy 4 out of 5 brightness LEDs for half the price at $12.99 a pair.

Like I mentioned, the ones I have in the car are 5-LED SMD 360Degree bulbs rated @ 3 of 5 for brightness and my passengers always comment on how damn bright it is.

I cannot imagine 5 out of 5 brightness rating..... Unless you plan on doing surgery in the car, I don't see why you would need LEDs so blindingly bright.

To be honest, I didn't even read the first paragraph you posted that said;

I skipped right over that and started reading from

Didn't even realize you did mention about the deals, first thing I did was click on the link and saw "$24.99" and thought . My mistake

Damn V-LEDS they never have the bulbs I want in stock!

Is 5k for the license plate bulb bright enough? I really just want something brighter then oem and nothing to bright or blue.

More like the Lexus OEM look but maybe a little less brighter?

So your saying they will fit, but just be too bright? That's what I'm kinda going for, I never really use the interior lights, I just want them for just in case, and picture purposes.

Yes those will fit the front domes, rear domes, and front driver/passenger doors.

Not to mention it will be BRIGHT AS $#%&

I would recommend these 5k white versions though

http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...25900-1-2.html

It all comes down to personal preference, but I always HATED 6k white colored bulbs.

I love the CRISP, SHARP, CLEAR, LEXUS-STYLE WHITE that 5k bulbs offer.

6k bulbs IMO remind me of poor quality LED bulbs that says "White" but really looks "bluish"

Yeah I bought 6k bulbs - If I had to do it again I'd buy 5k.

Actually, if I had to do it again, I would go on eBay and buy a generic 24LED board.

Now that's bright white.

Are V-LED bulbs better than superbrightleds? or they are both comparable? I bought about a dozen for my 3G TL, liked them a lot. The only problem I had with them was that 2 out of them had a slight, very slight yellowish white to it. Wasnt noticeable unless you were looking at a white paper right under it, or looking directly at the light.

SUPERBRIGHTLEDS in my opinion SUCK.

I used to use the leds from superbrightleds. They are not as bright as v-leds.

Prices on superbrightleds are PER bulb and not PER PAIR.

Superbrightleds doesn't list 5k or 6k. Instead they say "cool white, warm white, white"

Superbrightleds bulb selection sucks compared to V-LEDs. Price is also no competition.

V-LEDs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> superbrightleds

Just ordered all the same as Decayin, only in 5K White. Looking forward to installing them, I'm a big fan of the clean, bright white. Black Friday got the HID fogs in 5K, Cyber Monday the interior LEDs, I guess it was good timing getting the car last week!

Seems like a lot of people run these "high powered" license plate bulbs.

Anybody have pictures of how they look?

I'm running the 5k angled flank style for my license plate. Hell, they look like a cold cathode tube...I'm extremely happy with them. I'll try to get out the DSLR and grab a few pictures Wednesday evening.
