Crappy LED Parking lights!!
 

A month or two ago I bought some LED parking lights (8) I believe and one of them is already burnt out. A couple of local members warned me about this but I thought it was nonsense and now bam!! They are burnt out. I have bought several things from RotaryFX and it just pisses me off.

You might want to look into any parking lights that have a heat sink attached to them. The LED's for the parking lights tend to get pretty hot and LED's don't handle the heat very well.

Thanks for the info. Will research.

Whoah, that bodes no well for mine :( I haven't even installed mine yet

my Vled ones tend to be holding up well

I've got ones from superbrightleds, they've held up all last summer.

vleds. had them for a year strong and counting + rx8 members get a discount. It feels good to save :)

Is there a discount code?

I had some from RotaryFX go out on me and I just told them about it. They had me send
them back and they sent me new ones. That was after a week though, I don't know
about a month.

If you google for the Vleds coupon, you should find it. I think there was a good one that was "cavcode" or something like that. 15% off maybe?

ijdmtoy.com has good LEDs. the ones from FX are kind of cheap..

Yeah I was hoping the bad press would pressure them into sending me new ones :)

that sucks 9k!! well it'll prevent me from buying them!! i just had a fog go out on me (not from there) so i'm leaning with vled now for that and other exterior lights - they seem to be getting the most good reviews.

I've had two go bad. Unless they put heatsinks on them they aren't worth a damn, and I won't be buying any more lights from them. Everything else has been fine and good shipping too, just cheap bulbs.

I had LED parking lights in my 8 for 3 years, never burnt out... then again mine costs about 4x more than VLEDS and RotaryFX. PIAAs FTW!

I bought my 8 with blue LED parking lights... one started to go out (flickering) Cops pulled me over for that.

I ordered hyper white LEDs from VLeds, they lasted a week... and considering I cut my hands all up when I replace the parking lights, I don't care if they send out free new ones or not, I just don't like the hassle.

I ordered hyper-white incondesant bulbs... they're not as bright, but still got rid of that yellowish look that OEM had.

The remaining blue LED fit into the door of my Bronco, where it currently is doing just fine, oddly enough.

Can anyone show me a picture of the LED with heatsinks? I could probably solder heatsinks onto mine or something.

Although I guess the plastic casing around the LED structure would make it difficult.

Yeah two local members warned me but I didn't listen :). I'm too lazy to search does anyone know the bulb fitting number? I'd like to search fro some PIAA's or something of good quality.

It's the heat that kills the LEDs.

Yeah, can you show me the PIAA bulbs for parking light? That'd be great too.

I bought mine from Super Autobacs for only $30 when they had they were having the clearance before they shut down the store.

Are our parking lights a 168 wedge type?

194

I don't see the 194 LED on the PIAA site. Pretty shitty site for such a large company.

what part number did you buy and what color is the light emanating from them?
