Default Where to Purchase LEDs From?

Is this still the place you guys prefer to buy your LEDs from? I recently changed part of my interior to LEDs but they don't seem bright enough. The ones I got from Cliff were good but I sort of want brighter ones

I did all of mine with V-LED's; their SMT bulbs are pretty bright. The cheaper ones aren't, but the 2 BA9 map lights in the front of the GS light up the entire front of the car. Same with the SMT 194's in the back map lights.

I think you can do better on price though; I've heard good things on warden and superbright too; I decided I didn't want to try and track down and order a bunch of stuff on Ebay, the V-LED site is pretty well laid out and I was very pleased with the customer service.

I too ordered from V-leds and am very pleased with their products. For me if you sell a great product then I'll keep buying from you till something bad happens. The only thing that I'm sad about is that they dont make a circuit board type for my Audi.

Ok well I just put in an order from jpwarden so I'll be able to compare. He has 39mm adaptors for the 6led circuit board so I will be throwing those in my Audi and see how his compares to the V-leds one in my wifes ES. I'll let you guys know the results.
