i had the 5-led bulbs from superbrightleds.com but after about 2 months they started to blink. so i just changed them to my dome lights and now i have a strobe lite in the car

 

im lookin to get the license plate led's from superbrightleds...but between the "wled-x6 led" vs "wled-whp led" which one is the better choice? they both give out the same white light i was told. but im hearing a lot of people are having problems with the wled x6 burning out or flickering after a short period.

 

here's link to the two im talking about:

The solder joints on the inside of the wled x6 tend to break. I have these led's, but I haven't had a problem with them. I think as far as reliability goes you probably want to go with the wled-whp

 

^^ tRU dAt!!!!

 

do we need the load resistors to keep from the lights showing in the cars system as being burnt out??? Sorry gonna order but I just don't wanna order then find out

 

Only for turn signals

 

sweet thanks......

 

what do you think of these bulbs for the licence plate and parking lights.

^^Too bright for my taste. Also a little bit on the expensive side. If you want to see pics of the bulbs you mentioned, go here...

I ordered mine from jlevistreetwerks.com and couldn't be happier. They are so cheap that I ordered a set in Amber for the side markers. (Both spots use the same sized bulb.) Here's a link to some pics...

Tough choice, good luck.

 

as for leds i am going to use the xenon white, as ive seen it gives off a much nicer look than the PIAA bulbs, but for the leds in the side markers theres a choice to go with the oem amber, or the xenon white led's..any suggestions which would look nicer

 

ok heres what i finally did, instead of getting them online and taking a risk i went to my local mod shop who are friends of mine (HP Motoring), and who have worked on my past car (acura rsx). i bought the PIAA 7440 chome/orange bulbs for my front turn signals $28.00. and for my licence plate and side marker i got the PIAA high intensity super LED "white color" which they only cost me $18.00 for both...so what you think a nice deal huh

 

I was gonna put the pic of my car with the PIAA 172 lights in the lisc plate, but guy allreadly linked over to the thread i made about it.

Its nice to see my baby is getting attention

 

so what do you think of the PIAA 168 high intensity super "white color" led's i am going to use

 

mines ... i got the 6 led like almost a year ago and there still good ....

 

are they PIAA

 

LEDS from superbright

 

so in conclusion leds are a better selection over the Halogen Single Filament bulbs like this one:

are there any model numbers or links for the LEDs?

 

There really isnt a conclusion of which one is better than the other. The LEDs are brighter, and draw less current. I just chose to go with the regular bulbs.

Both will give you a bright white light for your lisc plate. Its a matter of which one you want to go with. I just happen to prefer the bulbs still.

As for PIAA LED's. Ive never used them, but knowing PIAAs obession with putting out quality products, they should last a LONG time and make you very happy whichever way you decide to go. Ive yet to be displeased with a PIAA product
