Here is the response I got to my e-mail...

"Hello Kurt,

This is not the first time I have heard of this problem.
We either have a bad batch or they should not be used in this application (have not heard of failures in other applications).

I would not recommend trying another set.
Please send them back for a refund or exchange for the 3157-W12 bulbs.

Thanks,
Greg"

Even though the W-12's arent as bright, I dont mind too much!

What brand are you guys using again? I found another website that looks very promising. The white LED's are much cheaper than the website I already posted.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR

Haven't ordered from this place yet, so I don't know about quality or customer service.

Kurt,

That sucks. I was hoping it was just me.

I put my 12LED bulbs in and I those are acting funny too. One of them wouldn't turn on and the other one had LEDs going out. I would probably just get a refund. I might have to do the same.

The website we are getting them from is SuperbrightLEDS.com also. The rest of my bulbs work great for the interior so I guess it must be a voltage problem.

That website has the same problem in fact all leds used for replacement bulbs will. They just aren't made to be on all the time like for drl. I used the other site for some 194 leds and never had any promblems with them but as soon as I used the 3157 they went out in about a month. I want to try the silvania silverstars and see how they work.Let me know if yall have any luck with any other bulbs becuase the yellowish stock ones suck

Do you need a resistor kit for each bulb?
