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.

Okay, so I bought the V-LED corner lights recommend on the first post.
I mean they work and all, but the problem is they shine at a 90 degree out, so the front of the lear corner (my reflectors are removed) doesn't really see much light.
Anyone used the V-LEDs recommended for the parking lights in the corner? I bought these for my parking lights and they work really well.

Aipex8: the interior LEDs are always out of stock: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...68710-1-2.html
So what are the alternates?
What are the good eBay vendors?

I like what I got from superbrightleds. I had a blown front parking light (inside the low beams,) and have stock HID's, so I wanted to find LED's around 4300k. The WLED-xHP fit the bill, and I'm pretty happy with them.
They're appear about as bright as standard 194 bulbs, maybe slightly dimmer, and they match 4300k HID's well. They have reverse polarity protection, have a linear regulator, and appear to have 3 dice, which I would guess are in series (same as having 3-3.6ish volt LED's in series.) Not fancy, but seem well designed.
First pic is LED on right, bulb on left, second is the same plus headlights, third is both LED's with the headlights and 3300K HID fogs on. Daylight WB on all.

I was gunna order up some new bulbs and just wanted to run my selection by those of you who have actually put these in your cars.
Parking
Reverse
Fog
Xenon Headlight
In particular to the headlights, can I just put in a D2S 6k bulb in the stock Xenon headlight without problem? HID is kind of still a mystery to me right now...

I checked out the fitment guide here:
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm
And the parking lights you have on your 8 doesn't match what the fitment guide says to get. How do I know what will fit and what won't fit?

I checked where the clicking is coming from when the turn signals are on and it seems to come from some black box under the dash on the driver's side. That box however looks nothing like this flasher unit. I did not see any other similar block fuse in the vicinity but maybe I missed it.
Try to pull that block fuse and see how it looks. If pulling it has an effect on the turn signals, then you're on to something

Hm... I wasn't aware of such a block fuse under the dash... where is it? Can you snap a picture?
