How long did your LEDs last? I just replaced my eyebrow with some JDM "BIHAKU" and I am getting worried now.....

I'm fairly confident now that all LEDs in the eyebrows will eventually burn out. This is due to the voltage shift and the LEDs are taking on more voltage than they were designed for. Unfortunately no one knew about this shift till fairly recently.

it seems like alot of ppl don't like the "blue" or "purple" look they are getting, but in my case i prefer the more blue or purple look. As I understand the polargs are just white with a tinge of blue. but if someone could link me id settle for anything than the OEM lights. Does the 2010 models have a white blue eyebrows as well? i got some new booklets of the 2010 model and it looked like it had a more whiteblue eyebrow. For some reason the 4 leds i had before, the outside two would turn a dark blue and the inner 2 would stay whitish blue. which looked cool imho

Members on this forum use Polargs in either:
a) Polarg M4 W5W 194 wedges
b) Polarg leds like Got Thang has. These are hard to source and will require a resistor.
Most of us are talking about (a) when we are talking about Polargs.
