Problem with LED fog light bulbs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I installed a set of Super Bright Xenon White 15-SMD P13W PSX26W High
Power LED Replacement Bulbs about 8 months ago. Recently they started to flicker (both sides), not all the time but enough that I noticed it when I pulled into the garage. I also installed the adapter harness to keep them on for day or night driving. Is this related to the adapter harness or is this just a problem with the bulbs? Is there a fix or do I need to replace the bulbs?

Its the bulbs. I have the same happen to mine. The cheap bulbs only last a few months. I think the longest I got out of a set before the leds started flickering and going out was like 8-9 mos. Time for a new set bud.

We sell the Diode Dynamics LED fog light bulbs, they have a 3 year warranty on them. So if they start to flicker or quit working you can a replacement at no cost. We also install at our shop and have seen a very low failure rate.

Use LEDS that are Cree and avoid the SMD style. They last much longer.

Thanks for the info. I checked the Diode Dynamics site to see what made their bulbs better and realized their store is about 5 miles from where I live. Already picked up a new set of bulbs and installed them. With their warranty, I'm good for at least 3 years .
