Hey everyone,
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on their favorite/most recommended LED bulb brand (primarily for brake light/turn signal/parking light applications - not fog light).

Orrrrrrrr not . . . (Sorry, I'm a newb who just wanted to get an overall consensus and spark up some talk)
 
I just went with the best rated ones, in the color temp I wanted, on superbrightleds. More than pleased.

I can get you the specific names if you need them.

Thanks, I appreciate that, but it's ok, I've checked out that site. What I can't seem to grasp (in terms of 7440 bulb type) is the difference between say a VLEDS V3 Triton ($130/pair), Morimoto 7440 X-VF ($50/pair), and many of the bulbs they have on Superbright. Obviously there are differences in lumen output, color temp, etc. but I've been reading and reading on these different sites and still can't come to a conclusion as to what the best bulb is.

I want the best looking bulb in my taillights - the brightest, highest quality, not cheap looking bulb. I trying to achieve the look of what you would see in a high end sports car. I don't want to purchase something that Eddie has in his beatup '93 Civic - you know what I mean?

Has anyone purchased or seen the VLEDS V3 Triton's in a taillight application? Is anyone using the Morimoto 7440 X-VF in their red taillight housings?
 
My current setup which everyone gives me thumbs up for

These are all on amazon and are super bright and make the car feel and look brand new so it keeps in trend with other cars with led. If you need an example I can send you a short video of the lights during day/night.
The SUGERYY 2 X 2590 Lumens Extremely Bright Error Free 3030 Chipsets 7507 T20 LED Bulbs Used for Turn Signal Lights,Amber Yellow(Brightest Amber LED On the Market)

Alla Lighting 39-SMD 7443 7440 T20 High Power 2835 Chipsets Xtremely Super Bright Pure Red LED Bulbs for Turn Signal Light

iJDMTOY 5-SMD 168 194 2825 T10 LED Car Interior Map Dome Light Bulbs, Xenon White for the parking light application. It really goes well with the stock xenon headlights at night
 
I usually only buy from super bright led.com. Quality but check your sizes and remember resisters for the signals. Agree w/ you, makes a giant difference.

Just got my order to replace all of the incondescent bulbs.

I replaced all of the little bulbs inside and outside the vehicle with LED's from HIDNation.com. It's been about 6 months and no problems at all.

By any chance, have you come across an led blub with a blue hue similar to the blue light in the dash of the newer Qs & QX's? I'm wanting to swap out the stepwell/threshold/step/kickplate/scuffplate (whatever the hell it's called, lol)?? I can't seem to find a company online, or at least one I'm willing to trust.
 
Hey Rodgman, what color temp are the front parking light you have in that picture 5K?

Also, what do some of these bulbs that give you the option of CAN bus... It says some of the newer style cars take CAN bus bulbs so i'm a little confused with that.

I haven't done that much looking but HIDNation has a few colours available in most of their small LED's. Amber, red and what they call pure blue. I don't know how close of a match it would be.

Can I use the Alla lighting amber color for the front turn signals? Do I need a resistor?

You do need a resisor but i had the alla lighting leds in my car for a while and it looked cheap. I bought the alla lighting resistor harness and used double side take and taped it to the metal fender away from wires and plastic. Its been installed for 2 almost 3 years and no issues. With the alla lighting amber bulbs You could look at it and tell it was aftermarket. But with the ones that have 3000k lumens they are super bright during the day and during the night and people think its oem from the factory. If you have instagram or facebook let me know i can send you a video of my setup up and what it looks like and the turn signals during the day and night. I have the 1000lm alla red bulbs in the taillights but during the day it looks crappy so i ordered the red 3000lm bulbs and will update after i install them.
 
I actually wound up getting a 1000lm amber set from iJDMTOY that didn’t require a resistor. I put them in the front and they look pretty legit. Instagram is same username.

IBrightest for me. I've seen plug and play flasher relay's to stop the hyper flash.

You know what I need is some bright lights for reverse. I noticed that ever since I put some led lights I believe that are Phillips led lights the camera is not as bright as I expected.

Philips are shit tbh. I tried them never liked them. Too dim. These ones from dhgate are amazing. I have the front turn signals and im waiting for the reverse and red. I have seen a video and the reverse is super bright. They are all 3000lm.
