do you believe this is going to shorten the lifespan of the stock halos or sidemarkers also? i am using your wiring harness that you provide with the DRL bulbs.

What we think is going on is the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Signal is sending fluctuating output voltage/currents to the P13W bulbs when they are set on "Auto" mode and because of this fluctuation the lifespan of the bulbs is being drastically shortened.
The P13W bulbs we sell for the DRL replacements for the RS equipped models are the same exact bulb we use for our 5202 LED replacement bulbs for the Non-RS equipped vehicles. The only difference in the back housing of the bulb that is different due to the difference in connectors for the two different models. We have seen a very small percentage of 5202 LED bulbs being returned, which further solidifies our assumption that the PWM signal that is being sent to the DRL bulbs from the factory harness is the leading factor to the problem customers are experiencing with the P13W bulbs.
In Non-RS equipped vehicles, since the Fog lights are actually Fog Lights, the circuit being fed to the replacement 5202 LED bulbs is actually a 12V non-modulated source which does not cause any interference with the operation of the 5202 LED bulbs.
We are working on a solution for you because we do not want any of you to be frustrated with our products. Right now we have an Advanced MECP and an electrical engineer working with us to get the problem rectified.
