Who is everyone going to for their LED needs?
I want to replace a lot of the factory bulbs with LED's and wasn't sure if there was a reputable sponsor that sells quality LED's.

For the license plate, don't get the 5 led bulb, again not that bright if brightness is your thing. If you do want just a little nice white light then the 5 led bulb will do. Otherwise you want something more along these lines: BTW these also go in your mirror and the footwells. Might be too bright for that as I used the 5 led bulb and they are bright enough.

FYI....The Superbrightleds bulbs I ordered for the mirror and foot well lights in my 08 caused interference with my FOB. If lights were on I got no fob detected......turn them off and it worked fine. I sent them back and went with cheapies on Amazon and have had no issues since.

I have cheapies in my 2013 GS, my daily driver 2000 Deville and my gf 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT and never a problem with any car. All LED's bought off Amazon and E-bay.

I picked up interior LEDs for my Corvette & Camaro from RPI Designs last time they were on sale; replaced all interior lights in both. Lights work great and haven't had any fob or other issues. Both sets all came with LEDs to replace the license plate light bulbs as well.

EBay and Amazon. They'e all reselling the same stuff, and putting different labels on it.

I too had issues with superbrightled bulbs for footwell and map lights. Never had an issue with my other vehicles. But my c6 does not like them. Had fob issues. Car wouldn’t start and would have every symptom of dead battery. Replaced them and all is good again. Great company with great service but didn’t work with the c6. They refunded them and paid for shipping.

I've ordered a ton off of eBay, but for more specialized shopping, oznium.com. They also have a factory plug option to make your own LED side markers. Their pre-wired items are very plug and play.

I recently installed reverse LED lights from RadioFlyer, who's a forum vendor. The price was steep, $50 for the pair but they look high quality and I've heard good things about him from others here.
For lights that are easier to access, I'd probably go a cheaper route next time.

Jeez talk about getting robbed! As I mentioned earlier what does a high quality led bulb look like. I sure as hell don't know, they all look the same to me. I paid $8 bucks for these reverse lights on e-bay, and you got four of them. They seem to be built well (in your words), and are 33 led's in each bulb. They are super bright. Plus they use 5630 led chips which are the biggest and brightest of all led chips.

I'm with the majority here. Been using cheap fleabay bulbs for at least 10 years. They are mostly decent quality.
