They did the promo 3x tonight, I spent $80 in total including the "premium" 6000k D2S bulbs, which from what I heard from them sound promising.

Sweet! I'm assuming you got the 8000K bulbs? Definitely post up some pics when you get them installed.

Anyone else get anything good?

Just got my v-leds today Here's comparison with normal bulb



VLED



STOCK



LOOK AT THAT GLARE



It was definitely well spent money

I would really appreciate if some one can show me comparison like that with stock xenon vs 6000k Diamon Blue or the Premium 8000k Sapphire Blue V-HID bulb

Someone do a side by side comparison when they come in. I have their regular 6000k bulb and feel like seeing how different they are

they do have a slight blue tint...slightly bluer than all of the other HIDs that are on cars now days and much brighter
i can see much further than with the stock 4300...even though they are 6K (supposed to lose light output)
plus it gives the car a more exotic look...definitely a head turner

Since this is my thread, I suppose that means I have to get a pair of those HID bulbs so you guys can see comparison shots, right?

Anyway, I got my platinum bulbs installed last night and they look amazing. The new LED arrangement really helps the front signal brightness as they shine into the reflector better. And of course the platinum bulbs look really good in the housing when off too. I'll do a photo shoot this weekend for sure, so look for some new pics.

Or anyone that gets the new premiums and has the standard 6000ks

Also as a note: I recently got a set of hid fogs. One thing I noticed was they get very hot in a short amount of time. That is to say, the scatter shield inside gets really hot. Since there isn't much space for the bulb to move around in just going to take it out. Hopefully the heat will dispearse more inside the housing

Like it has a halo? I don't know, probably just the camera picking up a reflection around the edge of the lens.

Links to all bulbs are in the very first post in this thread (I keep it updated). As far as price, if you like V-LEDS on Facebook you can score all kinds of sweet deals, they had a short 50% off everything sale a few days ago! These bulbs go for $79.99 a pair before discounts.

Hey AIPEX8, how does the color of the 6k match up to the platinum series? I may have missed passed posts. I apologize if I did.
