Sorry to say
I have tryed all led bulbs a year ago and they will all die after a few months.
The only led that will not die is the door 1s cos they are not alway on.

I used a LED strip for the license plate light a while ago. But it didn't look right so I changed it back to the normal LED bulbs. Maybe beacuse the car is black the light doesn't reflect as much as silver or white cars.

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.

Yes, do not buy these... Mine died in less than a month. Go OEM!

Ok guys , just a small adive for people lives overseas about wants to buy something from ebay US shippers only , register to a service called shop and ship from aramex ( http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/default.aspx ) ...

I live in Dubai and most of people in US don't ship overseas ... so that was the best solution for me ,, I've registered my billing address of my credit card to match my address with aramex in US , and then everytime I buy it goes directly to US aramex address in NY , then Aramex ship all the items to Dubai and they bring it to my door ..


wish u a good luck ...

and it sounds like I'm gonna buy the same bulb from the same ebayer . ..

regards
