like every1 said, its a hit or miss (even with more expensive products). the thing about places like vled and luxurymods is that they are more open to servicing you. just cross your fingers that you dont get a miss

I'm not sure about those companies. Even thou I have an IS, I'm going to put Philips Ultinon 6000K LEDs for my interior. This way, it would be OEM brand.

I ordered my HID's and LED's from Retrosolutions.com. It's owned by a guy named Todd Strong. The site has all the led's that you need for the GS model and the prices are pretty good too. All the bulbs match in color as well. He also warranties them incase there is an issue. I can post pics if anyone would like to see how it looks.

The picture quality isn't the best because I took them with my iPhone, but its clear enough to see. These lights are also much brighter in person. I ordered all of the LED's and the HID's from retrosolutions.com. The only bulbs I had to get elsewhere were the foot pedal area light and the one in the glovebox, which I ordered from ebay for around $5 a pair.

BUT u dont know and if u notice all of us with VLEDS keep chiming in saying they great. 99.8% of all my bulbs in my car and i have everything switched over BTW are from vled and have had 3 warranties in like 4 years. now the ones i got from warren on ebay i had gone through 6 in the last 2 years....

i dont think vleds are made in china but they might be....either way their customer service is good. i have yet to get a warranty from warren on ebay as he doesnt stand behind ****, never had a issue with getting mine from VLED

I had those in my Prelude and they work great. They are pretty bright and was still working when I took them out before getting rid of the car. I say go for it.
