No problems at all, they are great. I read there was a problem for LEDs with overheating because of the high beam bulb. Mine work fine for a couple of months now thou I use hi-beam a lot. The SMT are very bright and nice HID white. My puddle lights, backup lights and rear fogs are all SMT and no single failure!
(1st I had was inverted cone: , then 5 refractor: good color but not bright enough.)

I used to have the 5 LED refractor but after about 4 months, one LED started going one after another until there was only the center left and that blew two days ago. I'm getting a different set this time.

SMT's look good. Had them for a month or so and no complaints. I hope they last a while as changing them was a ***** and a half on the drivers side since my ballast for hids is mounted on lowbeam cover lol. I had to take out so much crap just to change the bulb and it took like 30 mins.

i like em. go to v-leds and buy em, cheap. i got mine at pep-boys coz i didn't know if i wanted them or not. so i can return em in 4 months.

just search for 194 inverted cone! GO INVERTED CONE! awesome for pulling up behind stock IS's!
