Drl led switchbacks 7443 recommendations

Hey guys I currently use these 60/60 dual color switchback turn signal LEDs that I bought from Ebay for about $40. They worked great for about 2 years. Loved the color and brightness but now they are starting to flicker a lot. Just wondering if anyone could recommend some good quality LEDs I can replace these with. I dont want to buy the Ebay ones again and than they start dying out on me after 2 years. Thanks.

I've personally been preferring Philips and morimoto recently depending on application

I've used the Diode Dynamics switchbacks for a few years and have had zero problems. Good products and service!

VLEDs are high quality, but pricey. I still have some strips from 10 years ago that still work. Right now I have their V6 Triton switch backs in the FRS. Replaced the Morimoto ones I previously had. The VLEDs are brighter in bothmodels, especially the turn signals. Only thing I liked better in the Morimoto ones were the fade on feature.

I run the DD ones. One died on me after 2 years, but DD was quick to send out a replacement!

I currently have one of the leads taped over so they function purely as turn signals. Would love to take some time to wire them up so the white running light is only on when the fog lights aren't...
