I've gotten a few PMs about these LEDs

I just put them in a few days ago and they are the brightest LEDs for the cluster I've ever seen. They are a little too bright for me and not blue enough. They look great in the pics but they are more towards an aqua blue than a true blue, but maybe I'm just too picky.

anyway, pics

this is how I bright I usually have them (dimmer setting)

this is the dimmer lowest

this is the dimmer highest

and the entire blue set up at usual dimmer brightness setting

overall, they are great. I've had no LEDs that light the cluster as perfectly as these do. With the cluster at the brightness I like it my CC unit doesn't seem bright enough so I have to have the cluster a bit brighter than I would like, but once again, I'm probably just too picky.

Do I like them ? YES.
Would I get them now knowing what I now know about them ? YES.

also, I got these from V-LEDS (velocity) and they are the best IMO. I've gotten cheaper LEDs from other sellers and they've all sucked (either not lasted or not lighted up all the single LEDs in the bulb).
V-LEDS FTW.
