Just a warning to everyone.

[What was posted to the yahoo merchant evaluation]
I emailed Jesse Freeman from True Blue Motorsports asking about the LED bulbs he had available and what would be ideal for my center high mount brake light and he replied "The 194's in Hyper Red are PLENTY bright. The only
reason I recommend the white is when on replaces dashboard/courtesy/gauges lights so as to maintain a WHITE light. Otherwise the additional expense is not worth it. The same thought applies for the other style bulbs."
I then placed my order for those exact bulbs on October 13th 2002. Instead of receiving a paypal bill I acutally received cash from the vendor. I waited a while to see if the vendor would contact me explaining why he did this. I never received a response. I then emailed him to get this striaght. He claimed he had emailed me about the problem but I had never received anything. We finally got the matter resolved by October 26th, 2002 and the bulbs were suppost to be sent out via UPS. I received the bulbs via USPS on November 7th, 2002.
Yahoo! states that I should not put my satisfaction with the product here, but I think it is nescassary since I contacted the vendor beforehand about this product and this was his recommendation.
Upon testing the bulbs in the center high mount brake light beside the stock bulb I found that it barely looked like the bulb was on. I then removed the other stock bulb and placed the LED bulb in it's place too. It looked like the center high mount brake light was barely lit.
I am very dissatisfied with this vendor and do not recommend doing business with them. Also note a lot of my emails were bounced back to me because his yahoo email inbox was full.

Just an update, I did email the guy right before I sent this and my email got bounced back yet again. I figured this might get his attn. Paul Nimz ordered his bulbs from this same place at the same time I did, he will probally chime in too if he catches this thread. Also upon further investigation the bulbs that are used are standard LED bulbs that you can pick up at Radio Shack. They are not anything fancy like a high intensity bulb or anything, just a standard red led. (Not a red painted LED tho)
If I am not contacted back on the bulbs I will probally just desolder the bulbs and put some high intensity bulbs there to fix the problem.
On the plus side it was a nice circuit board for 10bux a piece! thumbs_u
