those blue LEDs you saw on my comparison post was purchased from a Custom made light shop (PPD or DDP or something like that)... I can give you the part number for the bulb if you are interested in ordering some from them, they are about $8 a piece, which is a little expensive.
Some of the other members here have purchased LED bulbs from other retailers who mass produce then... overall, I think the output is about the same, just that the price is a little lower than my source.

for chain stores that carry aftermarket stuff, PepBoys would have a better chance... but i don't recall them ever having any type of LED bulbs there
You are better off checking local rice tuning shops....
I still have yet to pick up some new M17s to see how they look... i guess I'll have to wait until next week or something...

I ordered many different bulbs, but since I didn't think it through with proper measurements, half didn't work cause the bulb itself were too big to fit.
On the left, is DDP Part # MB402-W6-CW (base fits, but the bulb is too big)
In the center, is DDP Part # MB402-W12-CW (base fits, but the bulb is too big)
On the right, is DDP Part # MB403-W6-CW/MB403-W12-CW (this one fits perfectly)
Here is how you read the part numbers:
MB402/MB403: is the size & type of the base
W6/W12: is how many volts
C: is for Clear housing
W: is for White light output

I'd say, the M17 will last you at least a couple years???
I still haven't had a chance to pick up some new M17s yet, but my old ones still work....
which is better... depends on what you want?
I think the M17s are a little brighter, but the LED emits a much bluer light...
