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.

Go to precisionled.com its like $147 for every bulb you need and they're bright as hell.

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.
