Where did you hear people mention the new better version of v3 triton? I google it but couldn't find anything.

I found people still waiting for their order since december and if you order now it will arrive around march.

I did order 4 set and it still show processing even when I order it show in stock.

I ordered the swichback for the 4GS front signal, planning to tap the white beam to the DRL.

The V3 triton come with lifetime warranty so hopefully it will last long.

cobalt forum, someone said they talked to someone that works for vleds, better built quality and better plugs are in the works
on hidplanet they mentioned that around this time last year they had a promotion, right after the promotion was over they introduced new products
who knows if any of this is true, but i think im gonna wait it out... im pretty sure other companies are gonna "borrow" this idea and make similar or even better products just like pnp HID kits

wtf on the shipping time... it says "instock" right now, i ordered yesterday and it was still "processing" for over 24 hours (called and cancelled, was cancelled right away)

theres videos on youtube on these switchbacks... people are having problems with them not switching correctly
theres also problems with the wiring

switchback problems on this camry

one side lags on this TL

wiring problems

Thanks for the info.

Hopefully I will receive the new batch. For the price of these Triton, they better working good.

Problem solved if Lexus make all turn signal LED standard just like Audi, BMW or Benz.

I check out the LED reverse lights on the new LS the other day, not really impress with the output, just for the look.

I'm currently running the Cree LED in the turn signal now, pretty bright but not close to the BMW or V3 Triton.

Will update when I got it installed.

3U and 2U LED light, generate 9530 and 1350 lumens of light respectively.


9530 lumens, that's more than HID.
