"Like" them on Facebook. It's the only and fastest way for them to spread the word about a huge upcoming sale.

facebook and a member posted a thread here. If i hadn't seen that thread i wouldn't have known. Most likely they will do another one since they had made sales for that 10 minutes LOL

I've been waiting for a VLED sale to pick some up, and yesterday I signed up to "like" their page on Facebook, but I receive no kind of notification that they were having a sale at 10 PM, which I would have loved to take part in. I almost never check Facebook, and obviously for a 10 minute sale I'd never just coincidentally be checking their page during that 10 minutes..

So for people who knew about it/took advantage of it, how'd you find out? How can I sign up or change my settings to be notified in the future?

So I assume buying 1 (for $19.99) includes a bulb for each mirror?

Yep, it should label if the packet comes in a pair.

that was my original mistake. i bought too many bulbs during their sale because some are in pairs, some are not. I now have some extra V-LED domes if anyone needs some in hyper white.

also, the fade is still pretty good -- not very noticeable to me and i'm fairly OCD.

thanks for all the feedback guys..

you guys think these lights will be too bright for the interior mirrors?

Nice. If you think 4 SMT is bright, I installed the 6 SMT and it's SUPER bright. Here's a coupon code. Enter BE14BL at checkout and receive 15% off your order!

You're not talking about these are you? The 4 SMT high power flank bulbs are nearly 7 times as bright as the 6 SMT ones. It's a little counterintuitive, but more LEDs doesn't necessarily mean brighter.

Yup. Those are the ones. Logically speaking, isn't more LEDS = more lumenosity? So, isn't 6 SMT > 4 SMT?

a 10 minute sale? WTF! lucky haha

You would think, but the individual LEDs on the 4 SMT high power are much brighter than the ones on the 6 SMT "regular." The 4 SMTs are rated at 80 lumens, while the 6 SMTs are rated at 12 lumens. So, each LED on the 4 SMT is emitting about 20 lumens, while the individual LEDs on the 6 SMT emit only 2 lumens.

In addition to being less bright, some people have reported problems with the 6 SMT physically fitting into the puddle light slot.
