The only thing is I wish they lit up a lot more, they only have 2LED in each bulb but it works great and is very nice. Also they are really expensive for some LED bulbs, but I wanted quality/and not ones that will burn out on me. So I'll see how long these last.

yea i want something that last longer and quality also, i hope this won't burn out on me quick

thanks for info.

Good question. But if they want to see your plate, they will see it regardless of the lighting.

Just wondering what you guys recommend for long life? I see quakerroatmeal got the PIAA bulbs.

I ordered bulbs from eBay a little while ago which looked awesome! I was thrilled. They lasted about 3 weeks. Haha, learn from my mistakes. The seller said I would need to install a "load resistor" on each socket because they were getting too much watts. So the running lights (in the headlights) are out now and I replaced my license plate bulbs with the stock yellow bulbs.

Needless to say, now I'm worried about ordering from just anywhere because I don't know if they are the proper wattage/volts... even though they "match" they factory part number.

I know this thread is semi-old but I don't want to make a new thread. Saw a Z around here with insanely bright/nice white license plate bulbs that made my PIAA's look bad. PIAA's have been on for approximately 8months or so and still going strong but I would love to have something brighter. Anybody tried anything else that last pretty long/and are really bright white?

the one's i got from V-LEDS last about 3-5 months. i'd like to try the PIAA ones and have the V-LEDS as back-up since they are cheaper.

I thought LEDs were supposed to last longer?!!!

Can anyone guide me which ones to get if I want to change the interior lights? Mainly the two "reading" lights.

Forgot all about this thread. I found Polarg lights to be better then the PIAA's. You can order them from

http://www.jdm-depot.com/

I've had them for over a year now and still going strong. I ordered the 13k one and they're pretty white and not purple/blue like 13k would be.

I'll take a picture tonight. They probably won't be the best quality though.

You didn't see the post that I had flagged for removal. The guy was from China selling his xenon bulbs and wasn't a paying sponsor on the boards.
