Which L.E.D bulbs

hey guys i got some bulbs from autolumination.com, they are the 194's in the front corners. they will work for about a week then start blinking and it looks stupid. and also the 1194's 32LED bulb in the turn signals have several burnt out l.e.d's. what are some of the LEDs you guys are using that last longer and match fairly close to 6000K

If your 194 bulb is flickering, that means its about to go out.

Switchback are awesome! They look great jjashaa. Is the smaller 194/168 bulb red or amber?

Personally for me I like using regular halogen bulb for blinkers b/c I dont want to be replacing LEDs too often.
