LED's last forever they usually have a 50k hr lifespan.

I have LED's in my Lincoln Navigator that I placed back in 2003 and till this very day I have yet to replace one.

I'm on my second set for the front DRL in the last 6 months and now need another. Some of the LED in the bulb are blinking and not working. The rear is working well since it's not on as often.

Have any of you ran these LED DRL's for some time? And if so, how long are they lasting...reason why I am asking is that I am getting tired of replacing those darn bulbs 4 or more times a year.

Cheers!

My reverse lights are still going strong but the DRL lasts about 3-4 months then some of the LEDs goes out but not entirely. Don't know why.

Says in the listing that they have a 90 warranty, why not send them back?? :confused:

I go thes bulbs too and within 2 weeks they were flickering.
I contacted the supplier and they said reas the whole disclaimer before yoiu buy.
apparently they can burn out because there may be too much voltage. so they suggest putting in a resistor to prevent this..... to me they should inclue the damd resistor too and charge yo for it then you dont feel like a dick when yoiur lights are flashing.

Anyway they were mega bright soI will reorder and ge the resistrors and give yo an update and see if that works.

I bought the PIAA 3157 bulbs and they match my HID lights pretty well and seem to be much brighter.

I went down to my local Auto parts store and bought a pair of Ultra White 3157 bulbs. They are a bit on the blue side compare to my Ultra White headlights, but...alot cheaper and easier to replace. The LED's where cool looking...but what a waste of money.....

Though I do have LED taillights ...and they are cool, hands down well worth the cash....
