$80 for 6x LED bulbs is absolute highway robbery. Those bulbs are like $3 each after markup on other websites. Just go order some on SuperBrightLEDs.

it really depends.
We have kits where the bulbs are $3 each = $18 for the 6 bulb set.
But we also have $9-10 bulbs that are vastly superior, so basically YMMV

In what ways are they superior?

Greater amount of chips. Let me show you a couple of different styles.



Top bulb is $9
Next is $7
Then $6
Then $12

All different outputs

Yeah I actually ordered the blue ones from SuperBrightLEDs, but have yet to get the dang map bulbs out lol! Tried the tape trick, zip tie, small vice grips, they wont seem to budge out of there! I haven't tried the dental floss, maybe that might work better.

I saw a youtube video using what looked like a thin plastic wedge and it popped right out easy peasy.

I used a very small flathead screwdriver to leverage them out. Only took a couple seconds, try that. Or maybe try 2 small screwdrivers on each side to even out the leverage.

Nonsense. A greater amount of chips does not make any difference in the quality of the bulb. Smaller led bulbs tend to use smaller chips (3528) or one big one (5050) because that's what fits. Bigger bulbs (reverse lights, stop lamps etc..) can use a bigger led chip like the 5050 or 5630

I used a rubber tube slightly smaller than to bulb - came out easy - changed out all mine - love it.

Could you post side by side comparisons of light output to competitor brands, longevity testing, and lumen measurement? Not saying you're wrong, but I'd have to see data supporting your claim that these bulbs are "better" before I spend 2x-3x the cost on an LED bulb.

Just one example and trust me these are great bulbs, super bright, 33 led chips, 5630 size led (big). Anywhere from $6.99-$8.99 for 4 bulbs on e-bay! I have them in three of my cars. 3157 bulb (reverse, tail lights etc...)
