The LED Predicicament

I recieved my Varad Pro Led's in and they fit very snug. The issue is the output. the Hyper White that these claime to be actually give off a slight greenish hue. I have them in temporarily until my 6 LED bulbs come in from superbrightleds.com

These are the ones Jesus has and his havent failed him yet. I ordered a full round of these for the car and await their arrival. I hope the rest of you have good luck with the other matrix bulbs that are re-engineered.

I have superbrightleds.com bulbs as well, not sure if it's 5 or 6 leds. I going to order some more and ALWAYS get extras cuz they WILL go syko strobing after a few months. They're so cheap that it's ordering two is probably cheaper than buyin PIAA or other expensive leds.

You got a link to which ones on superbrightled? my corners havent gone out with the matrix bulbs but one side of my clearance strips have. Dunno why the clears havent. I guess I should get some new ones for the sides, the strips and the trunk takes 2 as well right?

i've noticed that the strobing is due to the metal contacts on the led bulb sometimes not in full contact of the leads on the socket.

damn, sorry to hear that. I was hoping the newer ones you ordered would have fixed the problem. If its not the fact that the leads and LED's themselves are open to moisture, I dont know what the problem is. From the warning Pratik was talking about, I feaar the heat could be an issue, but if these blow, I will just go back to bulbs for the clearance strips.

Led Turn Signal

I just installed L.E.D. bulbs for my turn signals and they strobe as well. They were also significantly dimmer than my O.E.M. bulbs. One of the two bulbs I purchased also had a single L.E.D. bulb not lit. I purchased bulbs containing 9 L.E.D.'s each. I am awaiting autoluminations to give me feedback. Any one else have problems?

If anyone wants a set of led bulbs in case yours go out, I will give these to you for 5 bucks. I paid 11. I have a set in my clears as we speak, but like I said, they arent as bright as id like.

I already ordered backup bulbs and no longer need these.
