Watch out for broken LED's

bought this in the last Group Buy. check them out. It fell apart in my housing one side has the led and the other just melted off.

Cheap LED's be careful those who purchased these LED's in the Group Buy. two on the left is working 100% and the two on the right is broken and thats why i was getting that warning abput "Parking Bulb Indicator"
