Good Guy Bad Product

I know, I know, (most) everyone loves VLEDS.com but seriously, I'm having a 50 percent failure rate here. I've got my third blown bulb in the past seven weeks now. The guy at VLEDS is super good in the sense that he replaced my bulbs, even though out of warranty, but that doesn't change the fact that they're all failing too, so in the end, I still bought and paid for totally unacceptable bulbs. I was advised to buy more expensive bulbs rather than take the free replacements, which I declined.

I'm gonna need to buy replacements for these replacements... anybody got something better than 50 percent workable?

I had the same failure rate (actually worse - it fell to 100% after about 6 months) with autolumination.com

I switched to superbrightleds.com and, so far, they kick ***.
No failures and really nice, solid, professional looking product.
Bright as crap, too!

WLED-xLX Wedge Base in "natural white".

odd, I have yet to have a single bulb from vleds fail after a few years.

autolumination though, was GARBAGE.

I've bought a couple sets of led's from vled with no issues. Glad to hear they are at least taking care of replacing the faulty product.
