Default Putco Bulb

Has anyone had any experience with Putco Bulbs? I just want to see how long they last.

I got PUTCO bulbs last October for my "city lights" on the GS and January of this year both of the bulbs started failing. I noticed some of the leds on the bulb flickering so I though perhaps the bulb itself became loose in the socket. When I checked it out, about half of the leds on the bulb were blown and flickering came from bulbs that were just about to blow out. I'm not happy considering it cost me about $25. When all the leds were fully lit, they looked great and blended well with my headlights. I just ordered some similar bulbs from Warden_JP off e-bay so I hope they look as good as the Putco. At least the bulbs I gotten from him in the past have lasted longer.
