Anyone try buying the LED lights on Ebay? I know they are CHinese knockoffs, but at less than 1/10th the cost, so what. I can buy 100 for the price of 5...Anyone try them?

Something like these

I don't trust ebay at all, if you want good LED's for the parking lights (or whatever you're using them for) get these, they are inexpensive and have worked great for me

You get what you pay for ....V-LED all the way. I would stay away from ebay. It's turned into a Chinese dumping ground for crap products.

I had a bad sales experience with JDMTOY so I can't recommend them.

 

Stoof has some vendor on Ebay that he swears by. Hopefully he can chime in.

 

Do you own a Hayabusa? If so, must make the G feel like a go cart. I'm jealous .......

 

Don't think your math is right, 2 LED's from this ebay seller for $8.99 and two blue LED's from V-LED is $9.99. Hardly 10 times more expensive.

Yup. I personally buy all my bulbs from this guy. Every pair of led bulbs i bought from VLeds blew out after a month. And theyre more money.

THis was just one of the many links I found to vendors selling them. THe cheapest was $2.50 free shipping for 2. Comparable VLED LEds are $19.99. That really wasn;t the point of the post, just saying they are much more

I don't mind ebay for a lot of stuff. THese little types of things (I'm only using them for the interior lights) if they are cheap enough I almost don't care if they don't last long.

oh...and yes, I own a modified Busa. I haven never driven a car that gives me the same feeling. I've done 220ish on it...my trap speed in the quarter is 176...its just nasty. I went so far as to build my own exotic which is fairly fast, but just not the same (0-60 2.9s, 0-100 6.4s, 1/4 in 10s) More like a slower bike Now it is for sale.

 

The Busa is sick and that's stock, so many Mods out there for it. Last bike I had was a Suzuki GS750, winter stored and every spring it was a rush. Can't imagine what 0-60 in a fraction over 2 seconds feels like.

BTW .... had my V-LEDS for 2 months now, still going strong. But if they don't last, I won't be happy ...time will tell. If they are that cheap at 2.99 and free shipping, not much to loose other than the install time.

 

I just bought a full set (doors/map lights/reverse lights/license plate) and spent about $30. My buddy (who also has a G) bought the same ones and they look great. I also bought some for my old Z on eBay and they lasted a couple years. I'll let you all know how it goes.
