Anyone gathered some metrics on the MTBF for 5 SMD LED bulbs?
He's not completely wrong.. I have a 5smd in the dome and one of the led flickers sometimes.. annoying!! and the same problem in one side of the license plate lights.. Im pretty sure ive got duds but its still making me think twice about re ordering them..

We offer high-quality replacements at a fair price, and back them with a solid 3-year limited warranty.

Had to use the DD warranty once.(and I have almost every light LED) They replaced the bulbs no questions asked. Not unlike other company's that make you jump through hoops to return something. Plus they are cheaper!! WIN,WIN......

Good to know

Good video comparison - I learned something new. OP honestly you could call Phastek and IF you can get through they will send you another bulb for free. They did this for me on my LED fog lights I purchased from them just like the ones in the video. I had a heck of a time with the left drivers side bulb and it eventually fell apart so they are not made very well but since I replaced the bulb and harness I have had no problems.

Thanks!! =)

Dude, you are getting ripped off. $24, no way. Go on ebay. The bulb size is t10. You can get each bulb for $1-$1.50.
