@leevanf same issues as you man, but this was back in 2015

Avoid them like the plague, they are a cheapo LED company using some Chinese based LEDs. I've seen them all over amazon as well as used there products before I dropped money on more expensive properly driven LEDs.

I had sidemarker bulbs as well as switchbacks from them, I upgraded the entire car to LEDs from diode dynamics and gave the old ones to a friend. Within three months of having bought them one burned out, the other started flickering and the one switchback was stuck on the orange color. Also for some reason when they got hot, they left a film in my jdm glass sidemarkers that I had to clean out by spraying goof off into them.

Spend the money and get ones that are properly driven like morimoto or diode dynamics. My entire car has Diode Dynamics LEDs now and I haven't had a single issue with them in 3 years of owning the car. I suspect TRS or morimoto stuff is the same. There's also a quality difference like, on the more expensive stuff isn't polarity specific, and they also have a better feel like some of housings are sealed or use aluminum or even have there own cooling heatsinks which look well machined. Like the switchbacks have a projector on the front as well as LEDs on the side, where as the ijdmtoy crap only had leds on the side that look sealed in with glue.


But rant over, I've had my fair share of cars with HIDS and LEDs and learned my lesson You save money by spending more at the beginning
