Question Where do you buy your LED bulbs from?
Just wondering if anyone has a favorite vendor or ebay seller they buy their bulbs from.

Thanks for the feedback. If I could just ask one more questions, I would like to get some LED bulbs for the front white parking lights that are mounted inside the headlight. I would like to go the same route as a friend of mine did with his Lexus IS350 and install a stick style LED bulb. However, I have not been able to get a good measurement to see how long the bulb can be without coming in contact with the shield for the headlight. I was wondering if maybe anyone had an answer for this?

do you have a pic of the light he used? the bulb you are asking about is a 194 bulb. and "stick" led bulbs made for a 194 socket will be a universal size and you shouldnt have an issue. usually that have like 2 leds on each side and maybe on one the tip. is that what you are referring to as a stick?

Yep the 194 bulb one is what I'm talking about, on some sites different lengths are offered. I find one that is hex shaped with an LED on each side, should be pretty bright but is 3 1/2 inches long.

Take out the stock bulb and push a pencil through until you hit the metal piece in the headlight. mark the pencil, then measure the distance from your mark to the end, that should give you an idea of the length you can go...
