Thumbs down 6 LED bulbs (194) sux!!!!

Well...... After buyin a set of the 6led bulbs... less than 2 weeks and many of the leds have stopped working. From the experience with previous buyers - there isnt anything i can do ... The sellers dont care... I guess i will be back to Polarg Just to warn future buyers......6leds suck! Dont waste your time.

There has to be a reason these things all burn out so quickly. It may just be the poor construction quality. I for one will continue using my M4's

the ones i bought from ebay for my '91 ls400 work very well. i had them in for a good 6 months now. the only problem for me is that it appears purplish at night and throws off my color scheme

Nothing to be sorry about. I paid around ~$24 buck for 3 pairs. That was cheap. I knew that if they lasted, great. If they didn't, not that big of a deal. It's just the fact that changing the bulbs on a G takes a long time so I needed something a little more reliable.

man, mine just died last night!! Back to the PIAA dual LEDs I guess. On one of them, three of the six died, and the other went out completely. Oh well, I guess you truly do get what u pay for.

Yup - deff. poorly constructed. My guess is that they are wired to run at too high a voltage - thus producing a brighter output. And burn out faster. Either way - Junk. I did however install a set of the new Catz wide angle LED's - the funky looking flat ones.... VERY VERY cool, easily as bright if not brigher than the 6led set. Hopefully these will last longer - Time will tell.

Will do - I found them online from www.Extremeredline.com - They were 29.90 after shipping. Somewhat more than 8.50 from ebay but just maybe they will last longer than 2 weeks

I'll post some pics later tonight.

Question

Those are the blue ones right? They don't look like the hyper whites, but I just wanna make sure.
