Default LEDs in dome light burn out quickly

I've searched and found no one else with this issue so here is my post.

I've now put in 2 sets of quality LED bulbs from a great vendor in my front dome light, each set burns out within about a week. Their LEDs work just fine every where else in the car. If I pull the bulbs and put them in the other sockets (3 in the dome light) they don't light.

If I put the OEM bulbs in they burn normally.

Ideas?

Solution: Use the OEM lights since they "burn normally"

+1 on V-LEDS! No problems since installing six months ago.
