Where to buy LEDs?

http://www.superbrightleds.com/

http://www.autolumination.com/

I've seen those two, but some people have said superbrightleds often gives you poor products. The 2nd one i have no idea what is going on.

Where is a good place to get good quality LEDs?

I'm planning to change doors panels to Blue LEDs and White for Domes

P.S. If superbrightleds does happen to be good...where do I find the right LEDs? WLED-B6 and WLED-W4...i think?

Yeah I don't know what looks good...haven't seen any pics of white LED domes on forum so yeah...

I have no problems with SuperBright LED's -- they ship very fast and none have failed yet (1 month)

Another source.

These guy's aren't inexpensive, but they're high quality and work really well. They ship promptly and the bulbs perform as advertised.

as from THIS thread: http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showt...t=LED+courtesy
(now the main thread on LED discussion)

you will need something in the WLED (such as WLED-W6 for white) or T13-x6 (such as T13-B6 for blue). these are supposed to be similar but apparently the WLED series will fit better. I agree with that conclusion, as i've purchased the WLED one's from Superbright LEDS. These are for the dome lights int he front and the back (the ones that click on).

i would highly suggest the WLED-W6, as the look it gives... it is SO much better than the original, and the blue in my opinion kind of overdoes it and acutally does make it harder to read a bit. white looks like the "hyperblue" that we love in the HID's and such. good luck.

and remember, search is your friend... then again bored people like me at 1:30am are your friend too.

Look on ebay 2004 acura tl Tec Toys sells 9bulb leds in a bunch of colors. I have blue in the door and super white in the domes, map and license plate lights. They look great and are a good price. Tec Toys is very helpful and shipping is fast. Highly recommend.

here's a hint.

if you need just a few, you can request samples from any of the LED manufacturers. it may take a little extra time, but they're free.

I put "9 LEDS" in my car. Blue in the doors and white in the domes. The whites have a slight blue tint so it's real cool. Best investment to date. Got them from Brian at Tech Toyz. Good guy, shipped quick, $40. I've had no problems with them.

This is the best (and cheapest) upgrade I've done.
