Hey guys..i have a problem..maybe yall can help...my 2010 RS has been through 3 sets of P13W's and one set of the new upgraded version of the P13W from oracle....they have been in for 3 weeks and already the passenger side went out. I'm done with sending them back to oracle and getting new ones...they prolly think im ripping them off. So is it my car thats the problem? or the lights?? is it a short? is there someone in the DFW area that can help? or shouldi go back to the DEALER...uugh!
are there some cheap lights i can run from auto zone that are just as good?? and will not burn out or go bad in a month??? any advice will be appreciated. thanks guys!!!

Finding quality, LED DRL bulbs is very tough for some reason. We wanted to carry some, but, just gave up when the one supplier we thought was good ended up being just like everyone else.

Premature failure of LEDs comes down to a variety of factors. Heat is the biggest cause for failure, but the construction, and quality of the components used also play a factor.

If you use high quality LED components with the most advanced construction methods, the bulbs should last for at least 30,000 hours.
