What happened? I ordered some blue and red coated bulbs that faded in a few weeks, but they're just regular bulbs. Shipping was fast.

Shipping time was alright for me, they jerked us around on shipping though, first it was "ohh you forgot the $2 manditory insurance..." then "we need $5 more to ship to Canada.." and when the package got here the postage on it was $1.82.

i got their 15 LED 7443 bulb...messed with my signals, they blinked really fast as if a bulb was busted. they said that a load simulator would fix it but i didn't get those instructions until after i ordered from them.

also it wasn't as bright as i expected them to be. ah well, good communication and fast shipping though. the stock bulbs are brighter than what i got. but this is just my experience with them.

I wonder if they lost longer than other aftermarket LEDs. I got a pair of the 194s and two of the five bulbs burnt out on one set and for some reason the other set didn't didn't work after the first week. Needless to say, both are not working now (3 weeks later)

Aftermarket bulbs = junk

just make sure you dont touch the bulbs with your hands. Touching it will reduce the life of the bulb by a lot. I've had my mtec headlights for 8 months now and they haven't died yet. i replaced my turn signal leds with the clear sylvania ones. I like the clear headlight look, had them about 2wks seem to be ok. I kinda dont like the color they produce at nite, which is a light yellow but it looks good in the day time.

That's good for regular bulbs, but we're talking about led. You can touch those all you want, since the diode is surrounded in plastic.

LEDs should last a very very very long time unless too much voltage is applied. if it passes too much current, its lifetime will be shortened greatly
