LED DRL and Hi-Beam

As for the other bulbs from JLC, other varioius websites and eBay, I did look into all of those as well. Reviews on them were mixed everywhere. Many said they did not provide sufficient light output to actually be used as high beams. One of the reasons I was convinced the V-LED bulbs with the Cree MT-G2 LED's would have a good shot was through test results like this one:

3,000 lumens is a shit load of light output. Literally 50% more than a standard halogen bulb. I also know that V-LED's stands behind their products and always puts out the highest quality LED products in the industry.
Honestly, I've always been an avid supporter of buying eBay/Amazon LED lights in the past. Recently, (before I ordered the DRL's), I ordered my first pair of LED bulbs from V-LED's. After having 2 different sets of LED license plate bulbs flicker out on me, I was sick of taking apart the trunk lid to replace them and decided to V-LED's a whirl. I figured if I spent $20 but it kept me from having to replace them again, it was worth it. I was impressed with the product enough that I was willing to take a $170 gamble and try these bulbs as DRL's. I'm also waiting until there next sale and I'll be replacing all of my eBay LED bulbs with their 6k LED's BTW.

Just FYI guys, V-LED's is running a 25% off sale this weekend. Probably the best price you'll ever get on these bulbs. I'm putting together an order to replace all of the bulbs in both of our cars with their bulbs.

Worldwide free shipping.
It may be considered.

i'd like to look into something similar to this for mine. looks good but would be better if it could match the low beam lighting as well

I definitely took advantage of the 25% off sale. I ended up ordering V-LED replacement bulbs for every bulb in both the RL and the TL. I almost ordered the Triton LED system for my reverse lights to replace the Cree bulbs I have now. I'm still thinking I'm going to put a mini-HID conversion into my reverse lights though.

I'm not worried so much about running larger boxes or higher lumens. liked that the 2100 set had the boxes that were more in-line capacitor size and did not have to be mounted. Also the set spoke of a new design with a more focused led light output. At the end of the day, if its brighter than stock and not blinding to oncoming traffic. I'm sold on it.
Yeah I bought a set to replace the DRL/Hi beams in my rl and a pair of fog lights in my santa fe during the 4h of july sale
Will keep you all updated once i receive

Like I said before, I ordered all the bulbs from V-LED's to replace every major light in both the RL and the TL. I have the bulbs for but have not yet changed the lights in either car's glove box, the TL's vanity lights and the RL's coin tray light. I took this picture while I was changing out the TL's bulbs. On the left is a generic eBay 5-LED 6k 194 bulb. On the right is V-LED's 6-LED 6k 360 degree bulb.

I just bought these for $110/pair:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cars-...954132807.html
Installed last night and they work great. I don't see any difference in the specs between these and the VLED offering. Free shipping via ePacket and got them in about 7 business days all the way from China. Not bad.

can someone post a link to the latest and greatest drl bulbs? or is that first link the one?
I see these at 2100 lumens
http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...5-5k-mtg2.html
or these 3000 lumens
http://www.vleds.com/shop-bulb-numbe...g2-3000lm.html
If 2100 is good enough I would definitely prefer those at $130 haha.

I can't speak about the 2100's but I have the 3000's from V-LED's and they are sufficient. I think it's better to spend the little bit extra and do it right the first time. Honestly, the difference in price is equal to a tank of gas.

Let me know if anyone sees a discount thanks! I have been wanting to get rid of those orange 1990's looking lights since day one.

I agree with you 100%. Spend the extra money and get the 3000 lumen. I was one of the first people to purchase this setup about a year ago and the 2100 lumen was the 1 and only option. 2100 lumen units are terrific and have great output. Very bright in the day and great for flash to pass. Light up the road as high beams. I want to switch my fogs from halogens to LEDs/HIDS so this a perfect excuse.
