[todoubled05]

Hey fellas it's Been a wile since iv visited here. It's good to see the forum is still up and doing well. For the past 3 years iv had LED lights in my truck. ( dome light) they are starting to flicker and flash when on. I forot the exact size, I wanna say 40mm but don't know forsure. I also can find a site that has them. If anyone can help me out on the size an where to buy them I would greatly appreciate it!

Also, the bulbs for the interior: http://www.ledlight.com/festoon-auto-led-lights.aspx I used bulb 74563.

Well acording to here, you need a 212 bulb, and they carry them along with several other places, just don't spend the $40 that some auto sites will charge you, just buy the individual bulbs

The ones you got are diffrent from mine. I might try those this time around. Are they reallly bright??

[Pumper]

I went with V-leds.com. I have many of there bulbs in my truck and they are super bright. I just upgraded my dome lights with 5000K 212 bulbs and they are worth the money. They are very well built bulbs, much better than some of these other leds that are on the market.

 

Try these bulbs. The nice thing is that they now offer free shipping and occasionally you can find coupons online if you search for them.

 

Definitely worth the money!!

A little OT, but I presume you lose the stadium lighting function (slow dim to off) when you use LED's?

I still have the fade with my LEDs. They seem to go from full power to half then off, not a whole lot of in between.

I have nothing to compare to other than the regular bulbs, but I am extremely happy. Compare the lumen output to other bulbs if that helps you decide. They are bright, and pretty cheap too.

+1 for v-leds, I put the blue ones in mine, they looks cool at night.

 

I also have the v-leds SMT for license plate lights, white ones and they are sweet.

Iv decided to try re v-led hid lights this time around. Wich ones are the licence plate lights?

[Pumper]

I used these.

 

I first time I ordered license plate lights I ordered a pair of the high power ones. But I ran into a problem. The size of the housings in the bumper is not very large and a bulb cannot exceed the size of the original bulb. so I gave the high power ones to my girlfriend and ordered these.

 

They are great They add a very nice touch. If you want 5000K look you could try these, but I can't guarantee that they will fit in the housing.

Try LED FLOOWLIGHT, The nice thing is that they now offer free shipping and occasionally you can find coupons online if you search for them.

Definitely worth the money!!

Never seen someone chop and paste from two different posts to advertise their products before the thread above me!

 

Took the words from one post, a photo from another post, all to create an advertisement. I sure will never buy from them!

Have any of you guys had a problem with a led dome light staying on real dim even when the lights are off? I bought some chinsy led's off of amazon and they do that. Do the V-led's do that? It's almost like there is a little energy left in it or something...
