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.. |

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

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

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.
