LEDs from ijdmtoy or superbriteLEDS?

Hey everyone just got a brand new G37 Journey and I plan on switching out all the lights except the glove compartment(looks too complicated)

Where should I buy the bulbs from?
ijdmtoy

or
superbriteLEDs?

In terms of price they are the same, but what about the lifespan, also the LEDs dont turn off all the way?

I did try searching and read through all the 20 page threads, but I'm still not sure where I should buy it from, or does it even really matter?

Long post for a simple question , Thanks!

^^ Not sure, but I bought from superbrightleds.com and it seems 90% of people have bought from them, seems to be a common choice. And not changing the glove compartment light might be a smart move, have fun!

^^^ na man you wiilll not break it. You should be more worried about the trunk ligh. i broke that thing now on my 08 and 09 but hey onlt $25 to replace so no worries. Just pull the lever to the side and the plate lights will pop right out . then a 1/4 turn and the bulb is ready to be changed.

haha LOL how did it go at the dealership, they fix everything up?

How would you take the trunk light out then if its harder? Ive really only tried the dome and courtesy lights.

Also which bulbs did you buy for your door courtesy lgihts shumby? I got the 921x12 ones

^^ Thats what I got in the doors. And actually its Sunday so I haven't gone to the dealership yet. The trunk light is by far the easiest one.
