Default Best LED bulb source?

Is there a general consensus on where to get the best quality LED bulbs? Not looking for components, but ready to install...like 3157, 194, etc...

ive used superbrightleds before as well as oznium.

you can also use ebay if you know the bulb style you want, but i caution you that you sometimes get what you pay for. I bought a set of interior lights t10 wedge bulbs for my silverado when I had it, and several of them started to flicker after a year. Granted I paid 10 shipped for 10 lights, so ....... again you get what you pay for

I understand that completely. I have bought some lights that actually were spendy...but were crap quality. I'd rather pay some extra bucks once instead of trying to save money and winding up with junk.

Are the Sylvania/Phillips ones sold in all of the chain stores any good??

(They DO make a few of the models/sizes in L.E.D.)

I've been using diode dynamics for some time now. They are very good quality. They cost a little more but they last awhile.

I ordered some from superbrightleds.com


But has anyone used the JDM ASTAR that are sold on Amazon? They "look" like they would be great as a side marker (194 bulb size).

I have some cheap Chinese eBay ones in my Cadillac. They are burning out after a year.
