Question LED DRL question/s

can anyone offer me suggestions for an LED DRL that is ultra white or white with a slight blue tint?

also, i've heard from other members that LED's burnout a lot faster than halogen bulbs due to the high level of heat-is there anyway to offset that?

would i need a ballast or module for an led drl? thanks.

I wonder the same. Can anyone with these chime in on how long yours have lasted? I think I saw a member post about their LEDs lasting only 1.5 years =\.

Btw, you don't need a ballast. Only a module and if you get the newer one from Vleds, you would need a relay.

Umm like 5 months now? Idk if i have the newer ones or not though...bulbs havent died at all. If you do i recommend buying an extra module just in case. Only like 10$ or something. Cuase it sucks having 1drl on for a week ( Ship back, then receive new)

Can you post pictures of what they look like on your car? I'm trying to envision where they would go exactly.
