Jellybean Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Was fed you with the ebay LED's , only last a few weeks plus I have to take out the headlights to get at the bulbs so I opted for the philips (40 euro a pair) I only drive the car the weekend and she was off the road for 3 months over the winter. Got the LEDs last August hoping I would get 24 months out of them due to the cost but the drivers side is gone. The filament bulbs in the car where going for 2 years + but I just wanted the LEDs to upgrade plus I love the look of the 6K xenon. Anybody else have issues? I am going to try the W5W 501 Wedge Parking Diodes 12 SMD LED Xenon I got off fervidus currus (http://ferviduscurrus.com/) I will get some osram cool blue filament bulbs, if these dont last long ; LED's are too unreliable. http://www.powerbulbs.com/images/medium/bluevisionledw5wt10.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I bought a pair of unknown brand ones from ebay to go with some HID bulbs. The HID bulbs lasted about 2 years and 3 years on the cheap (Less then £5) LEDs are still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
