High Quality 194 LED Amber sidemarker lights?
 
Looking for some good high quality and bright 194 LED Amber sidemarker lights for my FRS. Ive bought multiple leds from ebay and they are either not bright enough or start flickering after a couple months or the housing does not sit properly and they just dont turn on. Can anyone recommend me some high quality leds?

+1 for Diode Dynamics. I got their LED package and switched almost everything to their LED bulbs and they have been nothing but great

VLEDs HVA bulbs. Thank me later.

I've had these in my JDM sidemarkers for over a year with no issues and they're really bright: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/ambe...ulbs-1737.html

Definitely recommend Diode Dynamics

Ok so it seems like the diodedynamics and the VLEDS have the best quality LEDS. Does anyone know which out of those two are brighter?

I dont have any experience with VLEDs, but on Diode Dynamics you have the option to choose different bulbs based on their brightness. They have information on their brightness levels.

I don't have any experience with DD, but I've been buying LEDs from VLEDs for at least 6 years now. I found them to be brighter than anything else I could get. They are on the expensive side though.

Here's another comparison between OEM and VLEDs HVA series. This time, the rear turn signal.

And in regards to their quality...I'm still using some strips that were my first order from them. Still going on strong. And from all the LEDs I've ordered through them over the years, I've only had to file one warranty claim.

The VLEDS HVA say they have 100 lumens of brightness while the Diode Dynamics HP5 Leds say they have 92 lumens of brightness. But the VLEDS ones are 360 degrees light up and are made of aluminum.

Diode Dynamics HP5 - 20$
VLEDS HVA - $12

and the recommendations for them have been 50/50 but im still kind of leaning more towards the Diode Dynamics LEDS. Cant seem to find a picture of the HP5's on some side markers tho.

Went with the Diode Dynamics HP5. I figured these are more expensive so they must be better quality. and you know what they say "you get what you pay for" lol hopefully they live up to their expectations.
