Anyone hear of CN360LEDS? I have a guy who sells these lights about two hours from me and I'm actually heading in that direction tomorrow and was going to stop by his store to see what he has in stock. Would like to know if anybody has these lights any reviews are they ones that I need to stay away from etc. etc.

Looks like the same old same old. Look at ebay, same exact bulbs there.

I agree. Nothing new there. Looks like the same LEDs that companies like jdm astar sell.

So these are junk compared to diode dynamics?

They definitely don't compare. After looking, the 3030 series bulbs are in fact the exact ones you can get on eBay.

Can you explain to me what the main differences between the Amazon eBay LED compared to the diode dynamic manufacture?

Don't get me wrong I can tell the difference between a Baja design light bar and one that you would buy off of Amazon but when it comes to these smaller little LED replacement bulbs for your turn signal marker lights tag lights etc. I'm completely lost for what to look for in quality and craftsmanship.

It's a you get what you pay for type thing. You can have flickering issues with the cheaper ones and the output is usually no where near what they say.

Not to mention, the LED chip placement is important when using LEDs with a reflector housing. Ones like this company sells won't fill the reflector and look perfect. They'll have hot spots and dead spots.

I would not trust them, as others said, they look like the "dime a dozen" LED's everybody sells. Even if they look similar to the DD lights, the internals might be different and not last as long. There are a LOT of companies that use the same molds, it's about what goes INSIDE the bulb that matters.

Diode Dynamics products are for the most part made in St Louis , MO. The CN360leds are clearly from China/Japan or where ever. As far as led's go, customer service is just as important as product, especially since they are still in the early stages of perfecting them.

Well not ALL their product are made in the USA (I say this so people are not confused) but they do a lot of quality control and make some products themselves (they have a new 2013/2014 Raptor switchback kit I'm adding to my site soon).

But customer service is good. I had a long conversation with Nick today about some recent order issues (hey it happens) and they are taking care of it for me.

I always say "you get what you pay for" even in my everyday job I tell clients that. My clients (9-5) can go buy my product elsewhere for half the price for something SIMILAR but it's NOT exactly the same. And I say the same at night. Sure I can sell some $50 LED headlight kits but they won't be quality. Sure I can buy bulbs from China for $10 and sell them for $30 online and beat out everybody else, but again, they won't be the same.

My desk is COVERED in LED samples from all over, yet I sell Diode Dynamics for a reason. Are they the best on the market... honestly who knows. Are they good... you bet. I have not had a single LED bulb fail yet and even my customers who tell me "the bulb failed" I just have them wiggle it and it turns out it's just their connection from an old truck or what not. Granted LED's really should never DIE so it's one bulb you'll never have to replace.
