dunefreak Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm searching all over and can't find a place online that I can trust to buy some decent 1157 LED bulbs. Does anyone have a place they've bought quality LED bulbs from for a decent price? I need one for my bike but I'll be buying some for the hauler too.

sanddunesaddict Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I got some at the truck stop a awhile back....They are still working and havent quit yet. I had bought some cheapos that did last long but these ones I have now where $25 for 2 and they are still holding up. I also bought some 1156's and used them for interior lighting in the toyhauler.

dunefreak Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0017LBJGK/ref=redir_mdp_mobile those won't work. I need a 360 degree bulb for the way it sits in the tail light. Did you just google those or did you buy some? I saw those but wanted a good recommendation.

dunefreak Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 is THIS WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR? http://www.glamisdun...howtopic=256175 I don't see any 1157 bulbs on there for sale. Looks like just the 1156 (single terminal) and interior RV housing fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooedwhtboy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I saw the same ones on Craigslist. They look very cheap. It might be worth the extra money to buy the good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp-guy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ebay is your friend. I get mine from China,Hong Kong or whoever is selling them that week. Shipping takes a while but the price is good. Mine have not given me any problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I just don't want to buy cheap stuff that's gonna fail. So you've had good luck with all of them you bought on ebay no matter who the seller?

dunefreak Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 You guys aren't helping much at all here. So are you saying ANY seller on ebay selling China LED's are ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushjunkie Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You guys aren't helping much at all here. So are you saying ANY seller on ebay selling China LED's are ok? They all sell from the same few makers, which all use the same reverse-engineers. For the price, I think you'll get plenty of mileage out of them.

sand chick Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Email Mike and ask him. He seems to know LED's really well. Let me know if you need his email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydew Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 See that's what I thought until I read a few reviews on Amazon. Some say if you wiggle them they stop working. That could be due to the socket being stretched out and not grounding, which I'm sure you know as a mechanic, but some people writing reviews may not . I've seen the + nub wear off of a bulb in a high vibration application too, which might lead to those people writing bad reviews...but I think they are all made in china anyhow... and most advertise a 100,000 hour life expectancy, for what it's worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp-guy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I bet some of the sellers here in the US buy the China ones and mark them up to make a profit. I have bought lights from 2 different sellers and they both are working great. Let me know if you want their ID's and I will post them up.

RJ65 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I picked up some at Autozone a while back and so far they are working good. Only had them in for 2 trips though. They were around $16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp-guy Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Sorry for the delay Pete. I was on EBAY and I scored a 24-70 L lens and I remembered to find the vendors for the LED's. Here they are- costcocity003 vstore999e I have not had a problem with any of the lights from either vendor and I bought about 20 bulbs so far.
