Default VLED style LEDs for cheaper

Whats up guys,
I recently purchased some LEDs for my fog lights. I didnt want to spend the $60 per bulb off the VLED website, so I went on ebay and started looking around. Ebay had hundreds of LEDs to choose from, starting at about 3 bucks. After looking through all the different styles, I finally came across some that looked exactly like the VLED ones, so they might acutally be the same bulb since im sure VLED gets their bulbs from china. And they were $19 a piece, so I ordered two and I have to say Im impressed with the results. Ive had them for about two months now and they've always been on when my headlights are no, so far no problems. The color is 6k and is a little bluer than my stock 5000k headlights. They are very bright and if your looking for saving some money and getting what I think is the same bulb as the 60 dollar ones I dont see why you shoudlnt get these. Heres a link to the ones I bought to save you time searching.

Also I have a couple picutres but my iphone doesnt take good pictures of headlights, if you guys wanna see them anyway let me know

The VLEDS LEDs you're comparing are $59.99 for a pair not each 5K or 6K...

http://www.vleds.com/bulb/h-series/h...11-1-pair.html

The Ebay LEDs are $37.98 a pair.
They do look the same and have the Cree chips too.Probably the same bulb.
I'd still go VLEDS with a promo coupon for a lesser difference in cost and warranty and returns if necessary are easier than back to China.

I recently bought a pair of 921 LEDs for my reverse lights and used the promo.

The LEDs you want are on backorder,tho.
