recently i bought some superwhite leds to replace the almost dead ones for my license plates. somehow the shipment got lost in the mail. (waste of $40). does anyone recommend another website online to buy them besides autolumination.com?

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade the license plate lights to LED's also. But I don't know which one to get??? (39mm or 44mm, and 6 or 9 led lights???)

Why dont you inform them about the incident and maybe they can do something.

It seems that they have poor shipping/tracking procedures. I never got mine from them as well. I requested a chargeback from Paypal and received my refund. I later tried ordering them again ($6.99 each) and received it in three days.
