so I changed all possible light bulbs to AZN optics LEDs
however the 2 of the 4 LEDs in the eyebrows have already blown within a couple of months

what other brands have you guys tried that are more reliable?

they do offer a warranty but I will have to take the bulbs out and tell them how it blew just very annoying I rather get something of a better quality

I've been eyeing these, 152 sold, 100% positive feedback.

how many are there in our lights? Just one in each side or two? Sorry, probably a stupid question but I never really pay any attention to them because I hate them so much I try not to look!

2 on each side.

AZN bulbs have worked fine for me over almost 2 years on my previous sedan. I never had any issues. So you might have received a bad batch or I'm very lucky

Mine have been good for 5 years. Maybe the early ones did not heat up as much?

I have the brand new AZN leds and they keep burning out.

Same with OP, tired of requesting new ones on warranty. The quality is not there.

I just ordered some from ECS (zisa brand or something)
I usedvthem before on my RS4!for interior and license plate (monitored) and had no issues for 3+ years after install when I sold the car

I'll report after I get these installed and run them for a while

Anyone have before/after pics

Interested to see how led's look in the eyebrows

The ECS tuning ones look great but they're $50 for a set. Ziza is a pretty good though. Was tempted to try but from all the AZN Leds burning, my sockets are shot. Someone did a nice retrofit if i can find it, I'll post it here!

Thats the thread!

My AZN Optics have been great. I was sure not to fully seat the LED, though. If you push the LED all the way in and fully seat it, they do burn out faster.

Yeah i've had my AZN optics in for about 4-6 months now and they've been great... Occasionally they may flicker, but that's only when the car has been sitting overnight and you unlock the doors.

AMGangster

I just ordered 2 of the Phillips. Only 6 left now....

chrisridebike8

I cant wait to see your results. My AZN ones keep flickering now.

If anyone can report back if the Ziza or Phillips LEDs throw error codes...that would be great!

Thanks

edit: Reading amazon reviews, looks like the Philips LEDs will throw error codes.
Read for yourself.

Ingenieur,

Thank you for the shout out!

black lavender,

Our Ziza LEDs were tested by our R&D department to make sure they did not throw any codes. They are still installed in the vehicle we used and have not had any issues to date.

If you have any additional questions regarding our Ziza LEDs please let me know.

David,

Talked to Nate, ECS online customer service. If you're using paypal, you have to go through the actual checkout process to get the free shipping. If you just click the paypal checkout, you'll be charged $15 for shipping.

Order is in. Will report back on the quality.

ECSTuning

black lavender,

Thank you for the order!

I will talk to our programming department to see if there is anything they can do to correct that. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I installed them today. Right side doesn't work at all. Left side one works, 1 flickers. It's a shame because the color is dead on.

jptaylor

just did the same thing in my Spyder swapouts and due to the difference in the eyebrow reflector bowl they are MUCH brighter than the already bright output in the factory assemblies....

this is a clear shot of them from above



and this is Eyebrow and DRL ONLY!!!!

w204nyc

Looks great. Been thinking of doing it myself

AMGangster

I started with the Phillips LED, and couldn't get them to work for the life of me. I had one that work every time and 3 that worked intermittently. I decided to go with the PIAA 168 Xtreme White and they are perfect! I will never again consider the LED options. This bulb matches the color of our HID's perfectly. I am very pleased!!

Do you have any pictures of it? Do you think the bulb will also work in the side markers?
