On a side note, I ordered my puddle lights (out of stock, have to wait) and my license plate lights but I also wanted to order cargo lights but they are out of stock on almost all the good stuff.
Yeah, the switchbacks are pretty expensive. I keep buying stuff bit by bit so that it's not one huge bill. It doesn't make it any cheaper but it makes me feel better atleast.

The good thing about v-LEDs is that they are pretty accurate about when they will have their stuff back in stock. Its frustrating waiting but definitely worth the wait.

X2. Very accurate on backorder times and at least you can still order stuff when its out of stock. Last time I ordered bulbs, I used a 15% off coupon and ordered my $70 taillight bulbs which were out of stock at the time but I was at least able to order them and still get the discount.

Switchbacks are expensive but they are more than worth it IMO. They are really bright as a running light and keep in mind they are leds, which will last damn near forever so you probably won't have to buy another pair. I liked them because nobody had them when I found out they came out. I was probably one of the first people on here to buy them.

It seems like they have 2 different sizes of switchbacks. One being around $55 and the other around $80.

Is one brighter or any better? Ive notice most of the guys on the board running them ordered this one:

The one in the link you posted, as well as the ones we're running, have 60 leds. The $80 ones have 92 leds. 92 leds should be brighter but I don't think they would be $25 brighter, even I wouldn't buy them for switchbacks. The 60s are plenty bright enough IMO. I only bought my $70 92 led taillight bulbs because I needed the most output possible for my tinted tails. Also if you haven't seen, there are still 2 more choices for the switchbacks, type 1 or type 2.

So is V-LEDS.com not carrying the 20 LED Dome Light that was linked in Carolinaboy32's initial post on page one, or are they just temporarily out of stock? If just temporarily out of stock, how does one know when they will come back in stock? If they are not carrying them anymore, how would these work (linked below), would they be comparable to the 20 LED?

ETA: If they are not carrying them anymore, anybody have a 20 they'd want to sell?

This is a great looking & functional modification. Thanks for the comparison pictures & the links to the correct replacement bulbs.

Any bulb that is labeled high power is much brighter. I have a 20 led blue dome light that is isn't as bright as my high power red bulb that only has 3 leds.

There is a "V-star" rating under each product description that tells how bright the bulbs are. Seems accurate when I compare what I've purchased in the past. Most of my purchases were made before they came out with that rating. http://www.v-leds.com/V-STAR-Output-...30233238249234

Just ordered some switchbacks and the 921s. Saved $23 with the coupon code. I can't wait to get these installed. I'll be done with the LED swap after this.

use this http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/ put in your truck info. Then it will tell you the size of your different bulbs. Then relay the bulb size to V-Leds and your golden
