V-LEDS vs Other (Interior Lights)

Hey all, Im very much new to DA and I just recently purchased a 2009 EX-L Accord Coupe (taffeta white).

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right directions regarding interior led lighting.

I was looking at V-leds 6000k inventory (as i like the bluish/white light emission) but the total cost including license plate bulbs and shipping is about 2x as expensive as other retailers (ebay, alternate sites). I don't really care about spending the extra money to achieve the look im trying to go for. Im not too sure about the amount of leds/brightness to choose either.

Does anyone have any pictures of their interior led upgrades and some advice on where and what to purchase?

V-leds is currently on backorder for some of their inventory (wasnt sure if I should wait).

Thanks in Advance.

I bought some license plate lights for my TSX and like the ones from vleds. I also bought a set from ijdmtoy before buying them from vleds and think that the vleds were way brighter.

V-LEDs sometimes have discount coupon codes. Search google to see if there are any. I have all V-LEDs for interior lights and they've worked very well so far. I got the 5K lights so it gives off more of a white light. I'm sure the 6K lights will give you that hint of blue that you're looking for.

I don't know anything about vleds, or jdmtoys led, but there is difference in price of leds. i bought my full set of led's interior including the led plates about 45 dollars ish. and my friend with his accord, he got it in total of 20 bucks. the cheap knock off didn't come close to the brightness of the one i got. i forgot what brand was it. too long ago haha. but that is my 2cent.

I deal with strlighting via ebay. He has awesome stuff at great prices, plus his customer service/communication is ace. He is a usa seller as well, who ships lightning quick. I got all my interior leds, cree reverse lights, & (my personal favorite) 120smd switchback parking lights from him as well. Alot of his items are "best offer" & he usually accepts about half his asking price. Heres a few pics (btw most are daytime shots, so they are brighter at night)
