Source for LED lights for interior and exterior?

I was looking to add some "legit" LED's to the interior of my car but where is the best source? I have seen cheapies on Ebay that I actually have for my rear license plate to some super expensive ones sold locally by a company in St. Louis.

I used the cheapies inside but they would not stay put in the socket and I would have problems with them lighting up so I went back to the OEM yellow ones but I am not a fan of that color.

Just curious to see what you all have been using in your cars.

Thanks!

I'm using amazons classy auto led's but they are a bit blue so i want to change them to diode dynamics full white due to not being able to see at night with the Amazon ones since they are blue. People like the look tho

I've purchased LED's from Ijdmtoy, VLEDS, JLC Lighting, and Amazon in the past. The ones from Ijdmtoy and VLED's have been somewhat spotty in reliability. They would work fine for 6 months or so, then begin flickering and eventually burn out (194 or DE3175 bulbs in my case). Then again, some of them have been fine for 3+ years. Some of the cheaper ones you will find online have that bluish/purplish light to them, around 8000K.

I like that VLED's list the color temperature of all their lights...I wish more sellers would do this. I've switched to 6000K Phillips bulbs from Amazon for the interior of my G37X, and they deliver a pure white light that isn't yellow or blue in color.

Diode Dynamics without a doubt 150% FTW!

Extremely fast shipping and some of the best customer service I've had the pleasure of dealing with.

I changed all my interior light + Liscense plate + Reverse + Fog Light with Diode Dynamics and I had a great service to guide me on wich ones to buy. I only wish I would have took the sunblocker's light as well, I don't want to pay the shipping only for this so I try to convince my friend to order from them to place my order at the same time !
