Those multi LED bulbs are really crap, Ive had a lot of them on my former cars and they just end up with half of the LED.s flickering or not working at all.

i've tried those bulbs and its the exact same color as polargs but these are a tad brighter...no error message..i've only tried them on the footwells vanity mirrors and glovebox...so far they work fine and 1/4 of the price for M4's
Just got these. LEDs are really really small but decent. Using them for my interior. As aprince2die4 stated, no errors thrown. We'll see how long these last, but hell, $8 for a pack of 10...can't beat that price.

yeah, I did notice issues with the footwell, but only if you have both plugged in. When you have just one on one side and stock on other, everything works fine. All the other sections are holding up so far.
