They look like **** next to their other products, bare LED's, no heat sinking, thin contacts. Very value grade stuff.

I need 8; four sidemarkers, two tail lights, and two brake lights.
Could the postal service really take any longer... At least won't have to wait long for night pictures... This post has been edited by Box: Nov 12, 2016 - 5:17 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Front side markers are amber not red though. You need 4 red and two amber and two white. Get some 99 cent 8 smd T10 for the plate lights and the 18 3014 SMD for the amber front and 4 rear red you need. I've been through about 12 different kinds of T10 LED over the past year and the only that I've used that have worked out for side markers are the 18 3014 SMD type. Maybe the double row ones are good too, I haven't used them yet.

I know, I was going to ask to mix and match one set instead of buying two sets. I'm good like that. Counting the plate lights it comes to ten; 2 amber side markers, 2 red side markers, 2 red tail lights, 2 red brake lights, and then the 2 white tag lights.

They're going to tell you no I've asked sellers before, they always say no.

Then I'll keep asking around until I find one that says yes, it's all the same crap from the same factory everyone slaps their name on so one will want to make money. If not at least it's only 194 that's needed not in pairs; 2 amber 3157 parking/signal, 4 red 3157 tail/brake/signal, and 2 white 1156 reverse.

I knew I should've just gone there this morning but before 11 they were out on delivery. The LEDs I really don't care as much, but freaking medicine is another story. Sigh.

Well the medicine is from a pharmacy in Florida, and usually do get stuff from Amazon but that has no bearing on the postal service sucking and not doing their job. Already had to get the postmaster involved and he told them to finish their deliveries, guess will have to call again. Gee I wish I could get paid my full pay for only doing half the work.

Apparently the 20 white LEDs already arrived in Birmingham, so can get those while getting everything else... I seriously want to leave my number and tell them since they're so incompetent and aren't capable of delivering even the smallest of packages in a timely order to just contact me from now on and I'll pick them up myself. That's ok once there was something it wasn't even that big I had to go pick up since they couldn't "fit it into the car" and without thinking I said that maybe they should've tried harder.

That and muncher isn't censored. I'm ready for my LED lights damn it all, that and I need to figure out what all and how to replace the original red lighting in the car since red hurts my eyes. The climate control panel will probably be the hardest part.
Scratch that apparently the climate control panel is easy. Also apparently eight 194 for gauge cluster and two 74 for climate control panel. Then a 74 for each door handle bezel and a 3mm neo wedge for the headlight switch. So that's everything.
