I have used v-led multiple times with no complaints. That is not to say the other site is not just as good (or better), I just have had no experience with it beyond seeing people talk about it on here.

How long have you got the bulbs from them for? Just want to know if the bulbs from v-leds last.

I put a set of 168 LEDs in place of the stock license plate bulbs the week I purchased the car so....6/28/11ish and haven't had any issues. I leave home for work and it is dark and the lights come on when I am on my way back home in the evening so they have had plenty of hours on them too. I did the same mod in my 06 TL and they kept burning out so I did the CCL light instead. Hopefully these will last for a while!

We should make a sticky for LED bulb stores, I'll look into this.



Superbrightleds http://www.superbrightleds.com/
Oznuim http://www.oznium.com/
Vleds http://www.v-leds.com/

sometimes ebay.

For my TL when I had it I bought some bulbs on ebay, "same" ones from Vleds. Vleds wanted 2 for I think 25 I bought a 6 pack for 10. So even if they did blow I had extra.

I've bought LEDs from Vleds and they lasted about a year I think, then I just started using Ebay.

I think Lexus also have CCL lights for their license plate lightings. Maybe I should consider CCL lights, since they lasts?

I will recommend V-Leds they have very nice Costummer services and they will replaced your bulbs as many times as u have problems with them in a year warranty and they also offer u 15% discount couppons.
I have V-Leds all over my car an never have problems with them
