LEDs

Im not sure which forum to put this in- but I have a problem with the led's that I buy for my stock headlights- I have bought 3 pairs so far which were Eurolite form circuit city, and after two weeks one of the leds starts flickering. Another time I bought a different brand from a local tuner shop, and it gave out after 3 weeks. Is there something wrong with my car or am I buying crappy Leds? Thanks for any advice

itz probably the LEDs. almost every light on my car is LED. my top corner bulbs are white LED n i've gone through about 3 of them. it depends on the moisture in the air that gets to the bulbs. LEDs are sensitive n if the metal contact gets wet then they give out or flicker. i have LED in my inside dome light and n the 1st bulb i had went out n the second one has been in for about 7 months. i dunno. theyre a pain but they look really nice.

All my bulbs except for my H4's are LED - not a single problem yet, and i even have a DIY hyperblinker out the deal.

I had the Eurolite 194 LED peanut bulbs and they blew a couple of days ago. I only had them for 2 weeks!!!!!
I didn't even bother buying another set because they are ****. I just bought a set of Hyper White Bulbs instead and put them in today.

Telly... what kind of LEDs are you using? Who makes them?

you should try going to www.superbrightleds.com they have some pretty good prices there, even though shipping is a pain.
