LED lights
UGH I am sick and tired of replacing these damn things! I thought the damn things were supposed to last forever? especially on a car I MIGHT put 5000 miles a year on? WTF?
Can anyone suggest a brand or site to order the GOOD ones? Last I bought were from superbrightleds.com
Thanks

^^ bad luck? i have never bought an led that has gone out. still goin! i too bought from superbrightled
perhaps buying some bulbs or getting in contact with LEDmod.com...the guy does a ton of custom work, mostly high power and super bright. he did alot for the Celica community, not sure on Z though...

I've tried a few different types because the stock incandescents are way ugly for a modern jap car. I buy all the diff sizes from a guy on ebay, super cheap too. My reverse leds are from vleds.com I believe, along with my dome lights, those are circuit board types that plug in. The ebay leds I replace maybe once a year in my license plate spots, very bright and white. The hatch I have a right angle led, just to match. I dont have parking lights under the headlights though, too big of a pain to replace when they burned out and nothing matches the headlights.

I purchased my back up LEDs and all my turn signals from www.v-leds.com. None of them have burnt out, I purchased them 10/04/2008. I put about 20,000 miles a year on my car.

I have V-leds.com license plate as well for almost a year now and i am really happy with them.
I really wanted a pure white, well spread LED and that's just what I got.
I dunno if its the quality of the LED or what but some so called "WHITE" are almost blue which makes them looks tacky and "ricey". I bought LED front side markers and the WHITE LEDs give off a blue hue which is annoying me now, it was a huge pain to install.
I was also planning on changing the parking lights on the headlamps but like someone stated it hard to match the lights and a PITA to change if they blow, so i have no bulbs.
