L.E.D Trouble : (

Alright so i had my angel eyes put in roughly a year ago, and for some reason the wires caught on fire and what not, anyway while i had that done i had the blubs on teh side of the headlight removed and replaces with L.E.D's but for some reason they never last, i was told they should last at least up to 100,000 hours? but how come they only last like 40 hours then they start flickering and eventually die out. Why do they keep doing this? Iv replaced them up to 4 or 5 times, each time with a new pair of LED's which i buy from Superbrightleds.com

Moving to problems, but vibration or cheap LEDs cause failures

You need to get the new chipped super bright LED's. These will last the life of the car and are much brighter than stock.

Do you have any more information/links for this? I just gave up on the LED bandwagon for exterior lighting purposes, but if these newfangled ones offer noticable daytime performance, I might give LEDs one last hurrah...
