Interior LED bulbs that dont' suck?

So I bought bulbs from SuperBrightLEDs; I replaced the 4 around the gauges, and my sunroof button to start.. Well 2 of the 4 have died already, and the sunroof button put on a fantastic strobe light show for about a day and it is now toast as well.

Does anyone know if there is a place out there that makes the replacement LED bulbs that do not burn out after a few months??

Are you talking about your interior dome lights, or your gauge/switch lights?

I have had a hit and miss with v-LEDs. I ordered some bulbs and they worked great. Then I ordered others and they were terrible.

My Superbrights have been working in both my cars with no problems for the last 2.5 years.

I have the 921-x9 Wedge Base LED bulb and those work great for interior domes, doors, and license plate. No strobing or anything negative. I have not changed out the actual gauge lights so perhaps that bulb size has issues. I have the Festoon bulbs in our Pilot and also have had a good experience. I haven't had a single bulb burn out.

I have ebay LEDs for the interior lighting, those have been great except they failed after 2 weeks in the license plate lights, and one interior is failing now as well

I ordered superbright wedge bulbs to replace the button/control lights in my car, installed 5 and they were great, loved them, but now 3 of them have burned out and it has been just a few months..

I had my from my 06 TL which I installed early 2008 and now I took it off and put it onto my 2008 RL. I had it over a year without any problems.

What is the purpose of this mod? To make the lights brighter?

Ive had similar ones to KB1Spec and have them for at least two years. the only ones I have from VLEDs are the reverse and they havent let me down. those are about 1.5 years as well.
