Default Vled bulbs

For all you guys that swapped out your interior lights and used Vleds.com bulbs. How are the bulbs holding up? Any burn out issues? I had a few that burned out on me and wondering if anyone is having the same issue. Or if you guys switched brands, what are you using now and how are they holding up?

I wonder why your led bulbs would burn out? Perhaps you are putting them in the lights that dim, say, when the car door is opened, and the variable power being supplied to them is killing them.

Well I think all our interior lights dim except for the vanity mirror lights, over our sun visor, and the map lights already LED's from Lexus.

I bought these LEDs that was solder on a plate for like 50 bucks front n rear on eBay. They are brighter than the vleds bc it's like 25 LEDs that was solder on the plate in the front and I believe like 15+ in the rear.

So far so good...I must admit the only quality issue was the flimsey terminal pins have no channel guides so they tend to shift during install. Overall still lighting. And when I had issues with some bulbs and a relay they didn't hesitate to replace them.

VLEd bulbs look good and are reasonably priced. I had the 5 smt VLED's on my city lights. But the right side started flickering after 6 months. 1 by 1, each individual SMT started going out. I switched the Vled's to hyperwhite PIAA's.
