    I got 2 pair of these LED's, same time. One set in my 4Runner, another in my Tacoma. Lasted about a year, then on all 4 at least 2 of the LEDs went out. Went to VLEDs and did it right.

    They were nice and bright brand new...then I noticed one day they were extremely dim....sucked, but they were just cheap 3 MM LEDs. VLEDs are pricey, but they are nice and bright and good warranty

    Just a few LEDs...
    VLEDs has some good products and they also have some not-so-good products. I purchased some LED strips from them a while back and the quality was less than what I expected.
    I have some of their amber 194 bulbs and they are very bright but they still overheat and dim if used continuously. As I previously said, if you want bulbs with a 360 degree pattern, VLEDs has some good bulbs. I just wanted more of a spot pattern.

    Ended up retrofitting my stock unit with some red LEDs and clear lens
