Best Quality LEDs

Hi guys, I bought some LED tag light bulbs from IJDMToy and they are complete garage, one has already burnt out after about 1 month of use. Is VLED the best supplier? I'm looking for the best possible supplier I can find, I don't want to be replacing them again.

I've never had a problem with VLED leds. I had some small 168 for corners in my old car that lasted over 5 years and were still very bright!

It's on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for.

The VLED lights look like sealed units versus the crap I got from IJDMTOY which was like led circuit boards that easily let water in.

V-LED's are worth the money. Morimoto makes a great product too but I don't think they have as many size and color options as V-LED's.

OP asked for "best possible supplier." He's already gone the cheap route and wants the best now. There are plenty of places that are cheaper than V-LED's. You can go on eBay and replace every light on the car for like $50....and then replace them all 6 months down the road again. V-LED's makes a fantastic product that you can install in your car and not have to worry about having to replace again. That's exactly what he's looking for.

So just cause I said that VLEDs were expensive and suggested a slightly cheaper place to get LEDs makes it a "cheap route"? You haven't even seen them have you? I have them in my car and I'm pretty sure I know a good LED when I see one. Obviously he can go on eBay and get some cheap shit but I wouldn't suggest something I believe it a shitty product

So, looking at precisionled.com, the "Premium interior LED" package for the 4G TL is $61. What all does that include? The only interior LED lights that are replaceable are the courtesy lights, ($25/pair for V-LED's premium lights), and the glove box and center console lights, ($5/pair from V-LED's). To add license plate bulbs it will cost $25, (same price as V-LED's), trunk bulb is $11, (V-LED's is $16), and vanity light add on is $41, (V-LED's is $2/bulb x4 is $8).

So in total, precisionled.com would cost you $138 and V-LED's would be $79 for the same package. How is that a better deal again?

Precision doesn't show close up pictures of their bulbs like VLED does which worries me their quality might not be as good. I think I'll go with the VLED bulbs, thanks for the feedback guys.

websitehttps://www.superbrightleds.com/ is also a great place for LEDs. I have LED's from them in all of our cars and they have lasted almost 2 years.

Same here. I've had V-LEDS before on my RSX and have superbrightleds on my TL. The output and quality is just as good, but for a better price.
