BIG disappointment in Lethal Performance LED Dome Lights!!

Originally I was deciding to purchase Moss Mustang's LED dome light. Moss's led light seem like a decent unit from their advertised pictures. Then later I saw that lethal performance were advertising their LED dome light. Lethal's price was $10 cheaper than moss's so therefore I purchase it from them. Lethal's picture of the Led Light was not of the actual unit itself but instead the finish dome light turned on. I was expecting that lethal's LED unit would be similar to Moss. When lethal's LED arrived at my home, seeing the product was disappointing. The product was pretty much 2 LED bulb similar to the stock bulbs. I was expecting the unit to be more advanced like MOSS. I was pissed that I paid $25 + 10 shipping for two tiny bulbs that were not even brighter than the stock bulbs. All that Lethal's LED bulb did was change the color of the dome lighting. It did not increase the light output at all. Now I have to folk out another $45 to buy MOSS's LED dome lights.

BTW, has anyone install MOSS's led dome lights and if so how was the light output. Was it way better than stock?

If the link is broken. Search eBay for this string: "2 V-LEDS HID WHITE 11 SMT LIGHT BULBS 194 168 158 VS"

I've bought lots of LEDs from VLEDs. Great price and they're very bright. You won't be disappointed.

One issue I've noticed, though, is that after about 3-6 months, some LEDs will start to flicker.. I consider this to just be a defect in the LED. I had two LEDs start to flicker on me (from two different vendors). But one of them has been going strong for a year now. You might have to go through 2 sets before you find the ones that will last forever.

I bought my dome light leds from here and they have been great. Good price and good customer support as well. I think I paid under $10 for 2 leds shipped to my door.

I recommend buying some 194 LEDs from V-LEDS:
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

About $14 shipped.

They will stay dimly lit after you shut off the dome lights, but they will automatically shut off after the SJB cuts off the power. The dimly lit "issue" is a problem with the S197 electrical system and NOT the LEDs. I have the same LEDs on 3 other Fords and they all shut off entirely. I've been using V-LED's LEDs for well over a year w/o any problems. I just ordered some more for the third brake lights in my Fords.

I have the ones from Moss and it's not hard at all to do, and I get a lot of compliments on the look and they are definitely brighter

Yea the sites not the greatest but their customer service was top notch and the bulbs have been going strong for 6+ months now and the price is definitly right. Heres a direct link to the bulbs: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b....19609&next=50
Go to the 9th one down, the 921x12 wedge

I bought the ones from Moss as well. I'm very happy with them and were easy to install.
