Default Interior LED switchout - VLeds out of stock?

I'm about to start switching out my interior lights -> LEDs and, having read the old threads on the topic and consulted V-LEds.com, it seems that most of the bulbs people here have used are out of stock. Does anyone have any other recommendations for 5000k LEDs for the dome lights, footwell, door lights, etc?

Thanks!

I don't even see the ones I used. So I don't know which ones to recommend.

Jk, I found them, i used these for my dome, footwell, parking lights. When I bought them they were on sale for $3.99 a pair. Curently they are $8.99 a pair. Heres the link http://www.v-leds.com/6K-WHITE-15W-L...71332-1-2.html click on my build thread link below in my sig to see pics. Also for the vanity mirrors, under ousideside mirrors and doors I used these.http://www.v-leds.com/6K-WHITE-4-LED...68086-1-2.html they are $10 cheaper per pair then when I bought them.

You can always go to precisionled.com as an alternative bulb source.

Mine didn't cost that much it actually was like $67 (can't remember) but I used a coupon code which brought my total down alot. The bulbs I recommended in the second link I only bought 2 pairs as I had found some alternatives available during my time of purchase on there website. I wasn't able to find those so I recommended you to purchase more of the ones in link 2. The price might be high but u won't regret it. They are bright!

Yes, definitely sign up with V-LEDS to have discount codes sent to you. I can't remember what I spent on all my bulbs. But I have the look I wanted and it matches the white illuminated sills I bought.
