And here's a pic with them on (iPhone pic):
All of the terrible glare doesn't mean that they are bright, just that the camera exposure stinks... I doubt they're any brighter than the putco ones.

Aware of the glare, but it's the only photo I had that's why I noted it was an iPhone pic. Couldn't get rid of it even at a high picture angle. Only used it for color comparison with the headlights. They do appear brighter in person than my friend's Putco's. Then again, my car was freshly cleaned and the differences were negligible enough for it do be dirty lenses.

Which model is this? I clicked on your link and searched for 5000K LED wedge bulbs, but I could only find a $10 LED wedge with 4 leds on it. I have a hard time believing that could be brighter than the Putco.

Is there a more powerful LED wedge bulb I wasn't able to see on the V-LED site?

I would love to find a 5K wedge since that would work with my plan to get PIAA 5500k D4s, and 5000K HID fogs. With the Putco I would have to get the Philips Ultinon d4s which I can't find anywhere.

I chose the 6K one to match my 6K HIDs Lows + Fogs. They're the x5 High Power ones. http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...78377-1-2.html

I don't think they make a 5K 360 LED in High Power format a v-leds. You'd probably have a hard time trying to match 5500K D4S. Most places seem to have 5K or 6K. If you do go with V-Leds, they're a forum sponsor and I there's at least a 10% coupon floating around somewhere. But if you don't get the High Power wedge and planning to opt with their regular powered leds, they're still good, but you're probably better off going with the Putco's in terms of brightness.

The putco 194 LED bulbs will be the brightest and most durable bulbs you wil find. There are less expensive bulbs out there however they will not compare.

Here are some more pics of our 194 LED bulbs installed:
