No resistor required LED turn (rear+front)

Has anyone tried these out from eBay? Wanted to purchase from Diode/VLED but I'm not interested in splicing anything since my car is still under warranty.

If it doesn't live up to the claims, return it. At worst you'll be out a few bucks in shipping. The seller has a significant fb count, small percentage negative. Worth the gamble.

I recently bought some usb 3 cables on ebay. One came from china, other from the US. Both turned out to be fakes and didn't support usb 3.0 properly. On lacked the actual terminals in the connector, the other had the right terminals but was probably missing the wires internally. Both got refunded.

iJDM Toy has ones that truly work for around the same price if you look on their site

Just ordered the front and rears from iJDMtoy, since they are reputable. They have a 18% off coupon going right now too, so I managed to get them at a good price.

Having done business with iJDMtoy before I would never do business with them again, I would not call them reputable. eBay has turned into the Chinese knock-off sales site, buyer beware.

I haven't bought those specific bulbs but I got a set of wiring extensions with inline resistors. It didn't work, and I ended up having to splice in resistors anyways.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I'm sure people will be interested in these.

I installed and replaced the front and rear turn signals to the LED ones.

It is an awesome mod and helps the car look cleaner and newer. They are EXTREMELY bright during the day and night, and now when I turn on the turn signal, the traffic signs across the street will reflect the amber color off from the brightness.

For anyone interested, I would highly recommend.

The replaced the front via the wheels. The rears were easier to install, but harder to find a spot to mount the decoder, which can't be near any plastic.

Sorry just read that, I did read it but VLEDS were sold out until Mid january or so. I wanted to do the install over the holiday break so I just went with iJDM.

The VLED one is also much more expensive.

Is it this one:
Switchback LED Bulbs For Front Turn Signal & Daytime Running Lights


So you just plug and play, no extra wiring to fuse box or resistors? Do you have any other led exterior bulbs and does the color match?

BUMP

Can anyone provide feedback on front LED switchbacks that don't need the resistors (iJDMtoy or other)?

Thanks!

does anyone know if these ijdmtoy ones are plug and play? The description and the review say that they don't automatically work as parking lights and that has to be separately wired.
