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

 

LEDs do not withstand heat very well.

 

make your own. Ive had mine for 2 years already.

 

I bought mine from ledautomotive.com and they went out about 4 times, but everytime they go out, they replace it for free..

 

ok I understand the heat issue..but damn I am talking about the backup lamps...license plate lights..bulbs in my gauges...**** there's no heat in any of those places!?

 

^^ 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 will doing a full LED conversion when spring rolls around. will have to look into vled.com see what they have.

Red Rider, i think you might keep getting lemon LED's or something haha

 

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.

 

Had my LEDS on since 07 - fingers crossed! Brand unknown however!

 

Which one of these would be the correct model that each of you purchased?

hope ur not goin direct 12 volts to those things, they only need .5V u need a regulator

 

what are you talking about? Which LEDs are you referring too?

 

Well today my LED went out again. This is driving me nuts now.

 

I made pretty much all my lights with quality LEDs

Map Light






License Plate



Hatch Light




Turn Signal



Backup

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hell I am screwed now.LOL How much for ALL your lights samr350z??? Those are SICK!

 

Sam uses really good quality leds on his mod I bought 2 sets amber and jdm clear side markers with 20 leds each since August this year and no problem at all. Got compliment all the time.
