Velocity LED's rock.

I have no affiliation with V-LED, I'm recommending them to you guys so you get a good product. I've purchased a number of LED's from them and they're always high quality with good prices. They also ship *insanely* fast and don't overcharge for it.

I've also purchased from auto/superlumination before and they're garbage. I'm hoping people will stop going to them. Their products are crap and a huge waste of money.

So, if you're in the market for LED's, make sure to check them out.

V-LED's website.
V-LED on ebay.

Hope this helps.

+3 on the V-LED goodness..

I just installed my 194's on the corners and day time driving lamps and they are nice, I bought the refractor style for all of them and they match my HID's almost identically. I couldnt be happier.

I will post pics, it looks sex with white.....

Parking Lights- 194 6-LED in SuperWhite
Door lights & Rear Trunk lights- 194 4-LED in Blue
Dome light- Super Blue 9-LED light.

Im really happy with my blue lighting interior, and have had may positive compliments about it. Also the parking lights look real nice, as soon as I get my camera to work again I'll try to post up some pics of it.

both my auto illumination hyper white leds burned out!

Still debating whether or not the regular yellow 194s in the front illuminate signs and what not better than hyper white. Most of the time form follows function for me

I just recieved my 194 LEDs from v-leds.com

I love the "194 high power > HID white"

They absolutely look amazing! I put them in my map lights (what a PITA to replace!)

I replaced the lisence plate light with a "194 5 LED refractor > HID white" It looks better than before, but i wish there were two bulbs instead of one.

I also bought some blue LEDs, but didn't like how they looked anywhere. I ended up putting them on the door light (courtesy lights i think). Not bad but i plan on replacing them with the HID white color.

Now to install the HID white driving lights and the Hoen xenon match foglights and i'll be set....

Good to hear about Velocity having decent products.

Using a rubber spatula to slide in and push the release clips for the overhead console might be the safest way to do it.

Good idea. That was a pain to change those for sure. I just installed the high power "HID white" LEDs in the driving/accent lights. Looks a ton better and is a very close match to the stock 4300K HIDs.

I also installed the dome light from v-leds. It has 9 small LEDs. The light has a nice color, but it mainly shines straight down. The spread needs to be better.

I have to admit though.... With the HID white dome light and two blue courtesy lights on the door, it looks pretty sweet when im entering/exiting the car! Futuristic or something... i like a lot !!!

i bought the load resistors so they work just fine. i think they flash a very tad bit quicker than it use to but not noticeable. the red led looks so much better than the red 'pinkish' polarg bulb and red stealth bulb (from autolumination) i had in there previously.

Did someone say V-LED's?


Think I wrote in on another thread somewhere, but here's what I have done so far.

Parking lights.......white 6 LEDs http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=48

Clear Corners.......white 6 LEDs http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=48

Door Courtesy lights.........blue 6 LEDs http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=49

Map Lights..........blue 5 refractor LEDs http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=68

Rear Dome..........blue festoon/LED http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=288

Glove..............blue 6 LEDs http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=49

Footwells, have two blue LED circuit boards each side(driver and passenger), these are a little more subtle that what you've probably seen.
http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=243

Inside Trunk.....white 6 LEDs http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=48

License plate......white 6 LEDs http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=48

Brake lights........18 LED 7440/7443 red http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=305

Back up lights.........18 LED 7440/7443 white http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=304

Next up, I'm after all the dash and radio leds to blue, but that's gonna be a bitch! Unless I get Lurch to do it!

I think that's it unless I forgot something?

Well, I did do the fogs with Hoen H11's too! Yes, I am sick!
