Oh damn.. is the one bought from Ebay seller: MILKTEAMAN

Yes that is who I bought the LED's from. He is a great seller with quick response. He even offered to refund the blubs if i wanted. I like them so much that I don't want to do that. Im thinking its just one bad bulb.

I would STILL buy these LED's! I might just order another pair from milkteaman since they look so good.

Please, any other members let me know if you had any issues with these LED's.

they do die fast.
I had LEDs on my car and if they are on for a long time they do die but I am going to try the 30cm led white light and see what happens.
if that works and dose not die I will be selling them.
there are very cheep too.

I had those LED too and after 2 months they died out on me, Anyone notice they have a blueish tint to them? The OEM Led which I have now dont look blueish at all they look bright white.
