    Its just a pack of white 194 LED's for 15 bucks. You can get a higher quality name brand LED pack for about the same price. I like Yorkim's, super bright and haven't had a single one fail me.

    Touché. Maybe I should have phrased it differently.

    So there are good LEDs and there are bad LEDs?

    No I didn't buy them. I had a rainy day yesterday and just sat on the couch and watched Tacoma videos and looked at parts. My truck is two weeks out and I'm anxious as hell!

    Yeah. Higher quality LEDs mean they last longer and are brighter. Cheap ones usually aren't bright or fail within a few months.
