which of these LED bulbs to get?
i have no idea what the difference is between these 2 bulbs.
option 1:
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/9006-HB4-LE...9006_sku46.htm
option 2:
http://www.v-leds.com/BLUE-75W-LED-D...48299-1-2.html
the price difference is not a factor just want whichever one is going to look nicer and work better (don't want any flickering or error messages or w/e).
these are going to be my fog lights (and i know they won't produce any usable light these are purely for looks. i live in california and never have any actual need for my fogs).
i have putco 9005 nitro blue bulbs for the DRL and philips ultinon 6000K low beams with blue 194 leds for the parking lights.

does no one have an opinion on the difference between these bulbs?
i don't necessarily need a recommendation if someone could just explain what the difference is between them that would be awesome.
did i do something wrong in my OP to make it so no one is responding?
i'm a noob around here so be gentle.

The colors are different. That's the first thing. Otherwise, if I were to choose between those two, I'd pick the V-Leds one. I those SMD LED bulbs in my fog light and all those tiny LEDs made a weird lighting pattern in the housing where it was all dots of light. The V-Leds one looks cleaner, doesn't have that dot lighting effect, and will probably be a little brighter.

I haven't personally seen the V-LED version in person so I can't provide an honest opinion about them. During the day, you would be able to see the individual LED's due to the ambient light, but during the night or an overcast day, the light floods the whole housing and you can't see the individual LEDs.
Personally, I use the 120-SMD LED bulbs:

Most of the designs for the traditional LED bulbs on the market are pretty much the same, they are duplicated over and over again. The only difference between the lights is the consistency and quality of the workmanship of the light, the light can be replicated and use the same parts, but the way it's soldered and assembled may differ.
We work closely with a factory overseas to produce majority of our LED's so the quality control is probably better than many retailers who place their trust in a random company that they don't know.

hey sorry i totally forgot about this thread and didn't see your question until just now.
i ended up going a different route and got a 6K white 28LED bulb from v-leds and i'm extremely happy with it.
it looks great and is a perfect match for my 6K philips ultinon low beams.
i went with nice blue leds for the parking lights and for the daytime running lights i went with putco nitro blue however i'm considering replacing them with osram night plus as the putcos don't really give me that great of functionality for the high beams.
i replaced the front and rear turn signals with white leds (they have a very slight hint of blue in them but more a cool blue as opposed to my parking lights which have a very solid blue output).
i also replaced the reverse lights with LEDs.
cheers.
