The led's I have are shot.. I've gone through two sets already and I'm getting fed up so I think I might order these.

Anyone have em? Pictures?

Maybe you should use better quality LED's as I've had the same globes in for 18 months.
These are nice though:thumbsup:

You should mention the vendor. That helps us consumers.

Dealing with a warranty claim so I'll wait for the turnout.

Reguardless I'm gonna most likely change to a better quality bulb

I'd have to look, but usually its cheaper to just get the LED Bulbs that fit those lights. SuperbrightLEDs should have them.

HID_Powerhouse is the way to go !

just looking over them, i don't think they should be too bad.. the biggest factor is going to be the actual quality of the led's themselves..

usually the main problem with plug-n-play led bulbs is that they are so small and compact, there isn't enough thermal mass to get heat away from the led's.

that design claims to use 1210 led's, and only uses 8 of them, so there should be enough space to keep the led's relatively cool for extended run times.

but personally, i've learned to despise and pre-made led bulb, so i'm making my own because it's the only way i can be sure that something better than bargain-bin components are being used in it's assembly...

I bought 10x led bulbs from ebay for under $10. And they held up on my old car for 2+ years and my FR-S for a little 6 months.
