    I would look at "superbrightleds" before going with jumper again

    Would you recommend superbrightleds due to price, quality, turn around or just preference?

    SBL has a better warranty of 2 years compared to jumpers 30 days. They are a real company with a web page with all kinds of choices for relatively the same price

    Sure. I bought my plate lights thru him and when I got them they didn't work. I called him and he said he was having a hard time with them and that I had to spread/bend the bulb connection tabs to make them work. I PMed him recently cause they stopped working unless you touched the led and then only the one you touched would light up. I got no answer so I asked on his thread what his warranty was. I didn't mention my issue or that I had an issue in the beginning on his thread. He got all pissy telling me to read the first post, basically internet balls. I responded that I had read his post but asked because SBL gives a two year warranty. He responded to get the hell off his thread. I explained he brought it to the thread by not answering my PM and he had the mods remove the conversation from his thread so everything looks great when you go on and read about his lights

    Thanks Billy! Means a lot coming from you! And everyone here on TW.

    Thanks man! As much as it sucks I feel pretty good... Maybe it was the right thing. Who knows. :notsure:
    I'll do my best to make me happy! Thanks!


    In all "truthiness" I feel a fair bit elated. She was a little emotionally roller coastery..... Didn't know what would put her in a mood, which was stressful for me. I think it's for the best!

    Anyway... No point dwelling.... TRUCKS!!!!

    Anybody notice that Powerblock TV is no longer called Powerblock TV? It's called something else. Most of the show names have changed as well even though they are the same shows with the same people hosting them.

    Do you have just the plate lights, or the reverse lights also? I was thinking of eventually going with LED for reverse/plate, but I was hoping to have some real world experience from a local guy. Are the LEDs blue @ all, or do they look like some of the higher end luxury sedans lights?

    The only reason I ask is b/c in my younger days I wouldn't have cared about color (and potentially getting some LEO attention) but these days, I'm kinda over it.

    What gets me about stuff like this is the fact that people have to go out of their way to do this. It's almost as if they say to themselves......how can I make this car look ridiculous. It's amazing really

    Lol. I think it is hilarious. I am not sure what kind of car it is, but somewhere in danbury there is a car driving around with about 20 ridiculous hood scoops all over it.

    I did the rev lights but they sucked. They looked nice and white but I got more light from the stockers than the led bulbs. I also did the interior and love those.

    Please take a picture of this if you see it again. I want to see it

    Billy what reverse lights did you go with? Link? I was looking at some reverse lights but they were pretty expensive and I don't want to throw money away.

    I went with jumper for my lights and wouldn't do it again. There was a link on here about using a larger bulb and cutting the plug off it so it would fit in the oem socket.

    Maybe they're just saying "Yeah, I've got a piece of shit car. I might as well have a sense of humor about it."

    Or maybe they really do think it makes the car look badass.
    :notsure:
