Where to get quality led bulb without the premium price
 
So my side markers amber led bulbs are dying... Start flickering and turning off periodically.. I am not sure if it's a connection problem or bulbs are going bad, it's a pain in the butt to remove the side marker...

Anyway, i am wondering if anyone knows where trusted to get quality led bulbs. I know there are vicious and other places selling them, but.. 12dollara for a pair of led bulbs just does not cut it for me.. I KNOW they do not coat THAT much.

I have heard people get them on ebay for like 5bucks for a whole bag of them. Of course that's why I want to check with you guys and make sure if they are at least decent quality, also maybe provide with a link of some trusted stores.

Thank you all in advance!

Thanks for the suggestion, but that is the exact place where I found the LED bulbs for 12 bucks. Which is insanely expensive..... btw I'm talking about the ones with 3 leds per bulb.

Unless someone comes and tells me that that kind of price is normal... other wise I think they're rip offs..

I take a gamble with eBay led bulbs. I've had decent luck so far..

If you get the single lED it's cheaper. Anything more than that is way to bright for sidemarkers.

What? I call bs. I'm here searching for the brightness side marker I can find. I have the retrofitsource T10 bulbs right now. They are really bright, but are the wrong color for my setup, so I'll be making my own cool white bulbs that work at higher power levels.

With the amount of people that merge into my lane before the sun comes up, I want friggin HIDs in my side markers.

Hey if you want to be that guy go for it . The single LED diode is plenty bright, it's brighter than the OEM bulb.

I guess my argument of everyone turning into my lane every morning when Asphalt truly does look like Asphalt is completely "that guy".

I had originally bought helix side markers from a groupbuy on massdrop and they came with no name LEDs. They just recently started to act up, so I bought OEM side markers and diode dynamic LEDs. I have their other products and you get what you pay for. People will suggest different places to get them from but ultimately its up to you. I highly recommend DD but the choice is yours. :)

BTW, DD's products are quality, they are great with customer support as well. If you have any issues when you receive the product just shoot them an email.

The LEDs I got were from diode dynamics as well. Great product for the money. The description says cool white but it's more bright white.

Thank you all for the suggestions, it does seems like DD is getting pretty good reviews from you guys. Unfortunately I bought some off amazon yesterday, but I will give DD a try after my next set goes out XD THanks!
