where did you get yours? for some reason, all of the ones i have gotten from v-leds and some from superbright begin to get a flicker after 3-6months

I bought mine in a pack of 10 from an eBay auction, but I believe they came from SuperBrightLEDs.com.
I've had 3 that have gone in the past 2 years... same thing, they flicker.
I had to go back to stock bulbs on the license plate and trunk lights until I pick up some new ones.
I had gotten them for approx $20 for 10, which was a pretty good deal at the time.
The ones I bought look kinda like this:

I believe that my next set will be the brighter bulbs they now have available.
Nothing too bright, but a tad brighter, like these:

i have ones like the second picture....
they ended up flickering too. the license plate bulbs would go out the most often, so i went back to stock there after 4 bulbs....
then the trunk flickered....replaced it...twice
then the rear map lights....replaced them...one each side...left side is flickering again
then the front maps flickered....replaced them once
now my doors are flickering. wanting to buy a whole new batch that a reliable.
any of your led's in the interior have a very very faint glow? has to be night time to see it.
i think thats whats wearing them out

hmmm now that u mention it, i have noticed the LEDs on the front doors are dimly lit. i thought that was just how they are supposed to be, but i guess i was wrong.

I haven't had any of those glowing LED issues that others have reported.
All of the interior lights are just like new (knock on wood)
The license plate lights were flickering soon after installing them. I replaced them and they did it again.
License plate lights will get you pulled over around my parts so I went back to stock until I can find something more reliable.

I used these for the rest of the car (minus the license plate)

Most of the bulbs I bought from superbrightleds before have gone out on me within months of installing them, over and over again. Everything I have now are from vleds, and only two of the cheap bulbs are going blue on me. The rest are fine. But then again, Everything I have are SMTs or M-SMTs...

lol. just the interior...or else i am going to be a asking for cops to pull me over and/ or people running into me. i have not done anything with the exterior lights minus the license plate LEDs

I didn't change the bulbs under the ambers in the front because the amber covers on the bumper and the covers inside the headlights seem to be tinted differently, making the LEDs' brightness look slightly different...
