Local LED Lights?

Hello all Northwest max members. I had just finished a couple things with my 01 maxima and now I have to start replacing some of the OEM bulbs cause they've started to burn out, license plate bulbs, interior map lights and front orange turn signal bulbs. So since I have to replace these anyways before I get pulled over I was checking if anyone knew of a place in Eastside area of Washington where I could stop my and grab some LED bulbs. They look way better and last longer so I figured why not go with some LED lights...Any suggestions?

they are based in Bellingham, so you'd get your order fast.

Holy moly, some of those bulbs are expensive. I mean I know LEDs are good but dang!

After seeing that dual color LED for the turn signal, I want it more and more.

Ya no kidding. I didn't want to go crazy with spending a bunch of money on lighting stuff. I was just looking to replace my license plate that just went out and maybe getting some LED reverse lights since I'll be tinting my windows darker than they are now and thought the extra light would help me not scrape the rear lip. Thought perhaps that a shucks or pep boys or autozone might have had just an average set but hadn't had the chance to make it down there yet. I love the looks of the LED I think it would accentuate the 8k heads and fogs nice but not looking to spend over $100 bucks on some lights.

Ya I saw those crappy shucks one's. Seems like there is no shops out here in Washington anymore that carry this kind of stuff. Oh well guess I'll have to go against my will and buy them online. Found a post about someone who got quality LED's from an ebay seller for like $5.99 or something so I might try that. But with my luck when I now I've got a few bulbs out they I might as well convert too plate light, map lights and want to get a new trunk light while I'm at it...

Haha be careful about those cheap lights, I was dumb and tried out some $20 headlight bulbs from the company that made the crappy LED 1157 and 1156 bulbs and I found 9006 bulbs inside a 9004 case, and so I had to return it to Schucks, then I got a replacement, and this time it was 9004 except, one bulb burned out the moment I turned on my headlights, and I didn't even bother return it this time, and went to another Schucks and bought Xtravisions haha

I'm happy with my lights that I do have from v-led's. I've only had a problem with one of the high power SMT in my license plate...but I think that might be more of a loose connection because it works sometimes. I definately recommend going with them.
