Bulbs in SoCal need to find a store!
Hey guys so I want to change out all of my lights on the fron of my car. i.e. lows, highs, fogs, and markers, etc. The only thing is that like most of you I hate buying things online and waiting forever for them to come. Do anyof you guys know anywhere in SoCal where they sell led bulbs with built in resistors and hid kits?

For misc LEDs, polarg, and piaa bulbs you can check any of those Asian gift shops, the auto shop in puente hills mall, super autotoyz, or promax. HIDs you can get from tons of motorsports shops like promax, hms, mazz, DTM autohaus, etc.

For sure AZN I went to super autotoyz this weekend and they don't carry the led bulbs with with built in resistors.
Envyxc350 I def want that bright white with a slight hint of blue I wanna keep it classy. Any idea where I can get the setup locally, like just go buy them and pick it all up let me know. Especially of a shop that carry's the correct led's with the built in resistors.

If you're looking for LEDs that won't turn purple and burn out, wait for results of the new batch I'm working on. So far results are promising. Every other LED out there on the market will burn out or shift color for eyebrows. They'll work fine for sidemarkers, interior, and rear license though. Promax I believe still carries some of the Blesk ones from my last group buy I believe if you can't wait. I think there's also a couple shops in J-Town and K-Town that carry it as well.

Well Considering they turn purple/blue I took them off of mine. I have the blesk one from the last group buy set up from mike. If you want them you can have them if you want to come pick them up. I think there is a total of 4 sets. My car is in Torrance right now, but I won't be up there till Thursday/Friday.

Yikes, mine are still somewhat holding out, but now I'm getting worried. I barely use the eyelids at all, since I rarely drive at night, nor do I drive with the parking lights on, so technically (or hopefully) I should be fine until that replacement comes out.

I'm sorry but if you can wait I won't be in town till next Thursday or Friday. Take some time to think about it and let me know if you're interested.
If it was the Palladium Silver sitting on 20's, then yes it was Mike. When were you there?

I didn't get as detailed a look as I'd have liked, was in a time crunch to get the parts over to DTM Autohaus to begin work.

Good point Mike, sorry QBN
Anyways, let me know if you want them. I was planning on throwing them out cuz I just got PIAAs for my car so don't really need it, but if you want it I'll just give them to you. If you need them ASAP I can call David at Status have him take it off, I only have 2 sets on the car (side markers and liscence plate) total 4 bulbs. I think I might be able to dig up 2 more sets at home or some where.
But I will warn you...they do turn blue/purple (I'm a little color blind), and have the possible of melting your sockets (from what I heard from the previous owners)

I recommend to anyone who lost hope like me to give this exact type a try. I can show you guys a picture of my eyebrows if you want to. It has been the only LED's that work on my eyelids after trying so many. Been 5 months and still going!

Also, do stores, like Advance Auto Parts or NAPA Auto Parts, sell CrystalVisions? I'd rather buy them in store than online.

How do LED's look in the rear license plate lights? The Polarg M4's leave a bit left to be desired with their throw leaving the very center darker. Do LED's exxagerate this problem, or eliminate it?
