Vicious LED Review

Update: As of 3/11/14, I've had the bulbs installed for roughly nine months. Recently the license plate bulbs and sidemarker bulbs have begun to burn out. The timing makes sense since they are essentially the same 194 bulb design.

I decided to switch all exterior lights to LED for that subtle cleanliness. Vicious LED was able to get me the best price on the items I wanted.



My order consisted of:
_________________________________
4 indicator bulbs (amber)
2 license plate bulbs (white)
2 sidemarker bulbs (white)
1 dome light (white)
1 hyperflash relay (prevents turn indicator hyperflash when switching to LED)



My order was placed on June 6th. After discussing pricing in relation to my situation and existing group buys, I could choose to finalize my purchase via the Vicious LED website or via Google Wallet. I decided on Google Wallet and was provided a confirmation of receipt and an order tracking number. I received my order on June 14th. There was a delay due to the post service misplacing my package and it should have arrived on the 12th had everything gone smoothly.



It was shipped in a standard plastic bag and as a result some of the items were squished. On the other hand, the bulbs appear undamaged but I will check when I install. The soldering points for the LED indicator lights looks very clean. Same goes for the indicator bulbs and license bulbs. The dome light replacement does not appear to have the same manufacturing quality but still looks decent.



I will be installing these this afternoon to confirm fitment, functionality and that they fulfill the expectations I had in mind when purchasing.

Vicious LED is located in Henderson, Nevada.


-Update: All bulbs and relays installed smoothly with no issues. If you are thinking of going LED make sure to get the brightest bulbs you can as it will make the most difference.

Final rating: 8.5/10. Would buy from Vicious LED again and would recommend others to buy from him as well.

Just stumbled across this today, 3 months after you posted this review!

I just wanted to say thank you VERY MUCH for your business, and for your very thorough review of the entire purchasing process from the customer's perspective! I am glad that you were very satisfied with your purchase from us; I do apologize that the USPS had an issue with delivering on time (they've done that a few times to us, meh) but overall everything went pretty smooth.

If you haven't already, we'd love if you left feedback on our profile, and we will definitely do the same in return.

Cheers bud, and please contact us if you ever need anything else. We've actually added quite a few new parts to our website and definitely revamped our product selection.

I waited 18 days for my order to ship from them, but to be fair, mine was one of many orders placed during their Black Friday deal. LED bulbs aren't exactly an urgent need, but it was still a pretty significant wait.
