v-Leds for the Headlighs.Any Experience

My headlights keep on burning out. I'm tired of taking off my wheels and replacing them every time. Last time I bought bulbs from the guy...he told me that there is a life time warranty on them. I'm pretty sure that he's going to replace it for me, but I'm afraid that it will burn out again and then I'll be back where I started.

So this time I want to go with V-LEDS.

Any of you guys have experience with this Leds for the headlight application?
Or if there is any other bulbs out there that would be good replacement, feel free to drop the info.

Thanx

They Suck

Not enough light. One of them was more blue then the other. Drain your battery like crazy.

I got a set of HB4's for my WV
There's barely any light coming out of them. Cool for decoration purposes, but who would want to spend $30 on that.
I'm returning mine and have to pay 15% restocking fee.

So mu suggestion to all of you.

DO NOT GET THIS BULBS

i didnt return to this thread...and i never saw this post. i would never get leds as halogen replacements. hids are not meant to have a distant light output. what was your intent for these bulbs? for functionality purposes or to look cool?

Note: Bulbs are not an adequate light source for driving at night.

I was not looking for bright. I was looking for a color. My HID's are bright enough to see everything at night. But the other bulbs are a little less bright then HID and the color is way off. So I was trying to get it up to HID's color
