All my LED's installed, they suck.
I dont want to mention what brand or dealer I got them from(yet), but just wanted others opinions on their led experience and vendor they used.
I have installed switchbacks and the front and rears suck for daytime use. The amber is very dim and can barely be seen. Nightime performance is great from the switchbacks but the rear turns are not as bright as stock bulbs. The drl's I got both came seperated from the plug itself. It was an extremely brittle adhesive they used. The vendor said to epoxy they if they are stjll working which I did. :( Another member and myself ordered our switchbacks together, he had a bad one that had to be returned. The swithbacks require cutting away of the housing lock tabs to get the bulbs in place. Is this the case with others? The drl also required way too much force to install as they are pushing the size limit of the opening. I got a pair of amber led 194's for the side markers from an AutoZone, one died the secind time the car was started. Never had so many issues with led's before. They are cheap chinese but come on. Debating if I just want chromed bulbs instead. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 |
You should post where you got them from so people on here know, and then the company itself can help and explain why the lights are not better. It does no good for anyone if you do not disclose who you are unhappy with.

I upgraded a bunch of my lights to LEDs from HID_Powerhouse (@KI_ZN6) several months ago and have had no issues. Sorry to hear about yours.
|
I have LEDs from @Concept 3 LED and haven't had any issues. I have their side marker lights, front and rear turn signals (which are both the same bulbs on the BRZ), reverse lights and courtesy door lights. All my lights are bright during the day and at night.

What Diameter (mm) is your LED light bulb? 3528, 5050 or 5630?
|
Dont know the diameters. Any packaging I do have is in Japanese while still being made in China.

I got lights from Concept 3 LED. I got them around Christmas time and my front DRL went out. I expected that there would be some sort of warrenty, but When I asked the response was that they would only sell me a new set. So NO WARRENTY
|
You get what you pay for.. I got mine from Kenneth at HID powerhouse , I must say they are bright , really bright.
They also stand behind their products. |
Nonono don't go to autozone.
|
My LEDs work great. I got them from Zeta Performance
|
I purchased from one of the first vendors and most of my leds work fine. Problem is one of the license plate lights is already going out. Also I had issues with the wires that supply power not being long enough on some of them. I have a feeling most people supplying leds on this forum bulk buy from ebay and resell.
I felt like I should have bought the cheaper ones from china seeing as they aren't lasting anyways. |
I purchased the rear signals and switchbacks from Concept3LED. The color didn't match on the switchbacks (5k color match is much harder to find) so I sold them to a friend and he hasn't had any issues with them.
I have heard good things about HID Powerhouse, but I find their stuff horribly expensive. |
