    Can anyone recommend a good retailer for LED bulbs in the EU? I want some bright bulbs for my parking/side lights to use as daytime running lights (it's required by law to use your lights in the daytime here).

    I got some bulbs from the local car parts store, but they were far too dim - they'll be ok for in the cabin though so I'll keep hold of them. I then bought some 'Samsung' ones from eBay which were exactly what I was after, but after a week they burned up.

    not in the eu, but if you want quality you just have to pay for it (in this case the shipping):
    VLEDS
    Diode Dynamics

    On VLEDS shipping alone* for a single bulb is $35, hence the "in the EU" part of my question :)

    *Not to mention customs fees + waiting a month for it to arrive.

    let's say you order 10 bulbs from vleds, shipping might come out to like $4.0 per bulb/
    diodedynamics would be cheaper (& they are nice people, so you can ask them by email):
