where to find LED lights and resistors for headlights

Slowfashow · 12-14-2012, 02:08 PM

I'm setting up for a project on my headlights and was wondering if anyone knew where I can find some good quality (Price is not an issue) LED lights and resistors for the landing strip modification on headlights. Preferably an online store.

I have read that some LED lights burn out after about a year and I want to get high quality parts so I can showcase them on my car to clients. Thanks everyone.

LEDs are build for long lasting. That's one of the characteristics of LEDs. So you won't go wrong with most of the brands. Go check out the Market place on this forum. They are usually pretty good.

WOW...these are all great websites. I guess warm whit 5mm are very popular :/...they are on back order or sold out. I might just wire them myself. Thanks for all the links guys. You know your stuff.

one of the sites that has the pre wired lights has them sold out so I googled some more. I saw these on ebay. They are cheap but I am skeptical towards purchasing these

100pcs 5mm White Pre Wired LED Bulbs Light Lamp Water Clear 12V 20cm | eBay

Let me know what you guys think. I also saw some LED's for around 8 bucks a light but i feel those will be well worth it.
