parking light battle
ok guys here's another versus. anyone have experience which is the brightest and error free?? I just bought D1S 8000K bulbs to install in the OEM bi xenon housing (so excited)!
This one has 13 LED and allegedly ERROR FREE

VERSUS
This one has 25 LED (SMD?). I bought these and they could barely fit into the housing. The would flicker on and off in stand by mode but if you turned the engine on, it would be constant signal! Once placed you can not take it out as I lost both bulbs into the lamp housing (see prior thread)

I have had bad experience with the first one. Lasted about 2 months and flickering after that.
Second one has no resistors to it meaning errors will come up
I have had this for 6 months now on my parking lights and side markers and no errors or flickering.

do yours physically fit into the housing? I had to force the 25 LED one in then lost them
are you happy with the brightness? I have 8000K D1S which I am about to install into OEM bi xenon housing
thanks for such a quick reply!! this issue has been driving me crazy
I bought these from ijdmtoy but they didnt even light up

hope yours are made by the same manufacturer

Yup the first link is the seller I bought mine from. Polyled. I have been through 2 sets in 2 years. I really haven't had a problem with them. Those are the ones I would recommend.

yeah i got mine from JDMtoy the white ones and they match fine with my stock bi-xenon's but i ordered switchbacks too for my blinkers and i obviously needed a resistor because they work fine but dont stay constantly on. so i just replaced a orange bulb with orange led's waste of $40 till i get some resistors.
