Those were the AutoFeel LEDs. They almost look identical to the Vplus ones but the AutoFeel use Cree LEDs while the Vplus use Seoul. Now I see they are $15 cheaper than when I purchased them. If they hold up, they will be hard to beat for $45.
Also, just like with the Xenon Depot lights, an extra hole needs to be drilled into the collar of these, so the drivers side light can sit perfectly in the 3-9 o'clock orientation. Passenger side doesn't need this modification.
Can you tell me how to perform this clocking procedure? Or a link to the write up? I'm going to order these lights and want to install them correctly

You will want to install them so the LED's point perfectly left and right and so the set of LEDs that light up for your high beams are under the set that are your low beams. The high beam LED's are the set of 3 that are off center on the bulb.
There will be a factory hole on the passenger side that lets you clock them perfectly on that side. Refer to post 77 in this thread to see a pic of how the drivers side collar has to be drilled to find the perfect position. If you need anymore help, let me know.
Curiosity got the best of me and I did try a set of the Nighteye bulbs to see if there was any difference between these and the autofeel ones. Basically the beam pattern, light output, and color is exactly the same both on high and low beams. These bulbs have an external driver like the Xenon Depot ones and also have the same type of ribbon heat sink.
These ones do stay cooler to the touch after being on for awhile, which some of you may like. As long as the autofeel cooling fins aren't resting on anything heat sensitive, I don't see them being much of an issue.
I was going to rebuy the autofeel bulbs anyway because of the price drop, so I figured I'd give these ones a try. I'm going to end up keeping these new ones and sending the autofeel ones back. If it weren't for the price drop and amazons policy about not giving customers a price match on an item that was just purchased from them, I would have just kept the autofeel bulbs and been perfectly happy.
Is anyone running LEDs in their rear turn signal brake lights if so what ones when I bought my truck it came with some they were 62 LED chips and each one and they are cambus but I can't seem to find ones that are white I like that they were bright and when you step on the brake all the little reflectors inside lit up it was kind of cool looking to be honest if you have changed yours out what ones are you using and where'd you get them from I'm running the pilot ones and back right now thanks everyone
I got the 2057 rears (I think that's the number) at Walmart. The store brand ones are much brighter than the fancy sylvania zevo or any others I've tried.
Thought I better post that I am also returning the Xenon Xtreme LED headlights. The high beam performance just isn't what it should be. Bleppek outlines a lot, and he shows the beam pictures too. I took to measuring filament locations on the OE Sylvania H13's versus the Xenon's, and there is quite a difference in the LED locations when measured from the mounting surface.
I have both the Autofeel S7 H13 and the Nighteye H13 arriving on Tuesday to determine which one performs to my satisfaction, and I'll pick the best of the two.
On a side note, anyone who installs LED turn signals and has your dealership turn off the lamp failure quick flash indicator (vice adding resistors), make sure they do it for both the front and rear. There are separate settings for the front and rear, and my dealership only turned off the front during my first visit. Then they corrected their mistake & also turned off the rear during the 2nd visit. Turn signal speed is normal now.

Did you get an RMA yet from Xenon Depot? Looks like if the item has been installed they will not accept returns.
Has anyone on here ran the autofeel or nighteye led bulbs for an extended period of time (at least a year or more)? A 45$ pair of led bulbs makes me hesitant to purchase them. The main reason I went with the Xenon Depots was because of a member posting that he had his Xenon Depot kit in use for 2 years without issue (if I remember correct). If I could find a review where people have ran one of those kits for an extended period of time without issues, I would be interested.
My autofeel bulbs have approx 30 hours on them so far. Only quirk I've found is that the low beams are the best I've ever had but the high beams are worse. I never use high beams anyway, have driving light for that.

I am having the exact same issue. My low beams are incredible. My high beams suck. I did notice though after rereading this thread, I need to rotate my units 180° on BOTH sides, as my high beam elements are on top right now. I will rotate them on my next days off and re-aim, then decided for sure if the high beams suck.
Honestly, I never even considered which element was high and which was low. I set the elements in the housings and rotated them to 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. After it got dark enough to do so, I adjusted the aim. Part of my hesitation for rotating the elements 180° for now is the same as you, Joel. I like the low beams so well, I really don't want to mess it up. However, living as far out in the country as I do, having good high beams is almost as important as good low beams.
