Default LED vendors?

Is there a thread on this forum that can tell me who all is a vendor for LEDs ?
I'm looking to replace my turn signal bulbs for some LEDs as well as my brake lights. I believe my bulb numbers are 3157 for both the front turn signal and brake lights.

I think there are just two of us

Myself and Diode Dynamics (which I sell on my site).

I have not seen anybody else on here... at least for what you are looking for.

Again your front turn signals in your 2016 are 7443 not 3157

Your rear brake lights are 3157 however.

License Plate bulbs are 194

Rear Cargo bulbs are 921/194 (194 HP5 will fit for the 3rd brake while the 194/921 will fit for the cargo lights)

Rear Reverse are 3156

Front indicator is a 194 bulb


Or you can just go here:

You got lucky, they probably use the same base for their 3157 and 7443 but you need to use a 7443 if you look outside that specific brand you got. I'm telling you 7443 for a reason, why would I lie to you

The equiv. to the 2825 bulb is a 194 bulb. Highest lumen is the HP5 ones which are $20 a pair.

They come in all colors (I regularly stock the Amber ones because they are used for the front indicators on the F-150s)

XP80 (not HP lol) are the brightest bulbs Diode carries. They go for $90 a pair and you'll need resistors as well for your turn signals/rear brake lights.

I don't sell a LOT of XP80 Amber's as I said but they are definitely available. REALLY bright lights, EXTREMELY bright. You are talking 510 lumens which is a lot

Yea the 194's will be used on the little indicators behind the headlights on the fender.
I see your 194s have (1) led that throws light in one direction. Do you have any that have LEDs in a 360deg? That way I don't have a "hot" spot coming out of my reflector. Or does your bulbs provide a full thurough coverage..
