:uglystupid2: just like the topic asks, so any insight would help. I know there is a pretty good price difference
Yes, there's a big difference in brightness and light distribution. Unless you are using single 3W led's. Those are bright as hell, but think about how the light spread would be. viplife did some singles before and they just didn't give the same effect as the 5 led ones.
good info man, ir is much appreciated. reason i ask is because at advance auto parts in my town, they had a set by APC, and what can i say, for 15 bucks it was worth a shot. I havent put them on to a 12v source yet, i guess i should just to test em out, but from the sounds of it, 5bulb cant be touched
APC is bound to be weak. Even if there were good single bulb kits, I wouldn't expect APC to be among them. I have heard of and seen pretty amazing things with Lumileds Luxeon LEDs [url]http://www.luxeonstar.com/[/url]

DO NOT BUY THE SINGLE LED ONE'S...TRUST ME...my friend bought some from a local shop in Hawaii and we all agree, they look like ass...

But anyways...the decision is obviously yours... Like I said, don't get the single LED one's...you'll thank me later... :D
i love this stuff man, all you guys are super cool and appreciate all the insight, would i dare ask for some comparison pics though. or atleast pics of the one led lights from the distributer in hawaii?

These are AME_VIP's Eurolite Firelight puddle lamps, 5 LEDs per spot. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/Touring240/Lexus%20SC400/misc015.jpg[/img]
I think what needs to be mentioned is what lumen the LED's used are capable of. It'll make a night and day difference in the performance.
i prefer single led's. the kits that use 5 make too much light and the circles come close to each other so its like an underbody kit...too much light IMO. but to each their own. i've been using street glow single led's here at the shop. come 4 to a box. here's a pic of them in on a car, but keep in mind the car is bagged and down in this pic. so the sideskirts are resting on the ground...

Do you have a pic of what does ur puddle lights look like and how much are you looking for them shipped to So Cal??? I am interested!!
I guess its also good to mention that you should space your puddle lights EVENLY or they'll look like that van above :2funny:

What happen to forum? Threads missing responses? Anyhow mine was: Use hole saw of similar size slightly smaller than lights then epoxy them from inside the side aero.
It depends on how low you are as well. Obviously, the higher you are, the less light output will reflect off the ground.
