LED Bulbs from RotaryFX

I received the interior LEDs and parking light LEDs from RotaryFX as a Christmas gift last year and put them in and thoroughly enjoyed them. Then, about a month ago, one of my parking light LEDs went out and I just thought, dang, must of got a bad one, oh well. But then the other day, the LED dome light also went out. I was wondering if anybody else has had problems with the LED lights from RotaryFX?

Rotary FX lights blow. I had the fogs and the parking lights. They sucks. I went with HOENs and they are great.

Try vled's. I've had good luck with them. I always buy a second set of led's that way if one goes out I have another one to quickly put in.

Sounds like I'm not the only one. I will check out other LED's then.

LED's should last much longer than the standard bulb, but it all depends on the quality of the LED.

ya i went through 3 different sets and when i emailed rotary fx they responded with a link to their 30 day warranty policy (might have been 3 mo not sure) but frankly i should not have to get 3 different sets so i just said ok... they dont want to help so ill go elsewhere, i now have ijdm or w/e for parking lights and hoen fogs and they have already lasted longer then the rotary fx products ever did.

Agreed. Granted, they are really cheap at rotaryfx, so I guess I shouldn't expect much, but maybe they should go with better quality LED's and charge a little more. I know I would pay a little more for ones that will last.
