V-LED's

One of my parking lights went out already after 2 weeks. Are these guys cool with sending out replacements?

EDIT: I just sent them an emails saying one LED burnt out and they are sending out a replacement. Awesome!!!

V-LED has good customer service. I had to exchange my brake light bulbs initially. 2nd pair works fine so far.

I was wondering whether these leds can be used as parking lights. they are the same size as the ones at the beginning of this thread but they are cheaper. For the purpose they will fulfill and because they will likely burn out in the future and will require replacement I believe these would be a good choice.
here is the link

V-LEDs all the way if you want LED bulbs. Plus there is a RX8club discount code.

parking lights are sold out anyways so im sick of replacing my rotaryfx parking lights so i was planning on picking some of these up.

i only read like the first 2 pages then skipped to here so one question (im sure its already been answered here somewhere) The parking lights will be brighter then the HID's that the rx8 has? and i guess when i say brighter will it just look whiter or blue-er? any pics of stock HID's with parking lights from v-leds?

kaiser: the OEM hid's are approximately 4200 or 4400K and the parking lights are available in 5k or 6k.
I have the 5k bulbs so they are a bit more 'blue-ish' then the HID's but not by much.

I have bought a lot of leds from them. Only had one problem, which was the clear corner white LEDs, one flickered. Never bought parking lights, but all my interior, map lights, license plate and footwell lights were from them.

Oh I forgot, one of my footwell leds is on the fritz. It's a 9 LED cluster tho...

You'll probably be fine.

ya i have ordered from them twice because this is the 3rd parking light to go bad on me, passenger side once and drivers side twice. both times on the drivers side they flickered and it bothered the crap out of me. i have not e-mailed them or anything simply don't want to hassle with it, anything else i have ordered from them has been fine.

V-Led and Hoen are over-hyped.

There is better and brighter on ebay.

......as for fogs, I just got a complete set of HID's with connectors and ballasts (55watts) for $19, and a set of yellow (3000k) replacement bulbs for $13.

Soon as the weather clears up, I'll swap 'em out.
