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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I've got PIAA ones fitted, had them for about six years or more with no problems, they did cost £45 for a pair though !! Quote 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
