Smile Where does everyone recommend i buy LED's?

I am going to order new LED's for my parking lights and running lights. I had ones from RotaryFX but one popped out when installing and dissapeared and as i read more on the forums everyone was saying how their lights arent as bright and burn out easily (and i definetly agree about the brightness....).

My first choice for new ones was going to be VLed's but they have been out of stock with the lights i want for over a week now and im getting sick of waiting.

So is their any other site that you guys would recommend?? (if you have pics of the bulbs installed on your car that you could post as well that would be really nice).

O by the way, im just looking to get the best white LED's that i can, no colors.

Some people swear by other vendors, but not sure who they are. VLEDs is very pricey.

I agree with you Apple. I bought ones from RotaryFX and they werent bright and kind of blueish at that (i bought the white ones) and one burned out within a month.

Im on deployment right now. So i cant do much about it. I was told buy everyone I know with LEDs and they told me go with VLEDs
