Sounds like you're pushing too much current across the LED. Before trying different bulbs I would take a volt meter to your inputs. I've had LED's in my corners for over a year with 0 problems....never got around to doing my headlights. For some reason I think your G is putting out a bit more juice.
If the juice is right than PIAA is more than likely running they're LED over they're rating (typically 30mA for "false" white).
....Has anyone else had this problem?

recently i've been having the same problem, but only on the passenger side. I've recently went through 2 sets of LED's just for the one side. Now I just switched it back to the stock bulbs and we'll see if I still have problems

Could it be because of the heat from the headlights?
