where are you guys getting LED bulbs these days?
I have a bunch of lights from v-leds but they're probably 10 years old at this point.

VLEDs are pretty good but pretty expensive too. Those high-output reverse bulbs were quite something.

I got Philips LED reverse bulbs and DRL on my Speed3. Can't go wrong with Philips.

I'm doing a little lighting upgrade on the RX-8 and figured I should look at refreshing the vleds in there now.
they work well
but some of these new ones look impressive.

yeah, Philips is always GTG

For high beams and low beams, I would just stick with high-quality halogen or HID bulbs, whichever ones come from the factory.

I also stopped messing with turn signals. Yeah, I could do LEDs and put in resistors but meh. RX-8 at least had standalone turn signal relays that make switching easy, but it's not an option for my Speed3(it's a part of the BCM; you can even adjust the turn signal volume in that small screen).

Having brighter reverse bulbs helps a lot, though.
