Default Anyone Buy V3 Triton LED Turn Signals?

I want to get LED's for my turn signals and wanted to know if anyone here has tried Vled's V3 Triton LED bulbs. If you have, how bright are they? Was the install easy and what bulb adapter did you buy.

VLEDS is a solid choice. But a few of us went with Philips Silver Vision for the blinkers. The bulbs are chrome to lose the orange glow but they light up perfectly. It's hard to tell the difference between them and the OE bulbs. Stealth also makes chrome bulbs. I have both - Philips in the back, Stealth up front. Contrary to what the manual says, the size is different. Probably only for LED headlights. And no adaptor was needed. It was strictly plug and play. Installation requires removing the panel on the side in the tailgate area and reaching in. Same with the front except it's the plastic engine covers that have to come off.

Thanks! Quick question, the bulbs that you installed are those LED's? I didn't know Phillips made LED's to be used in turn signals.

$139 is too steep for some blinkers don't you think.

No, the Philips bulbs are halogen. Same with Stealth. They work just as well as the OE bulbs, maybe slightly more orange when turned on but look clear otherwise. I purchased Philips through a store on eBay and Stealth from their website. Front and rear blinkers will run you maybe $70. That's considerably less than the VLEDS you're looking at.
