yes there is a big thread on it kyle....you,micheal,me all talked about it for weeks. i actually just ordered some t3/t4/t5 bulbs from warden (and i ordered some from V-LEDS to compare brightness for my console switches which one has burned out since i did that DIY in february with oem bulbs )

i think the 3 of us are all running those and all have commented how close the wardens bulb matches our HIDS.

Yeah, I've got all V-LED's in my interior and have no complaints, the warden LED's aren't a perfect match for my 6000k lows and fogs, but they're much better than anything else I've tried. Just about anything is better than the dingy halogen bulbs and these LED's illuminate the housing much better than the Polargs I ran for a while, even if the color isn't a perfect match.

JamesG, looks much better now, enjoy!

This guy is 20miles from me and I just asked him for the whitest LEDs he had and he handed me 2 and I tried them out.....but not sure which sorry.

Plug and play....takes 15minutes. Hardest thing is finding a spot to mount the ballast but there are 2 nice spots inside the engine compartment and the fog light ballasts I mounted on the inside of the steel part of the bumper, worked well. I can take pictures if you need suggestions.
