Anyone else-problems with LED halos blowing

Is it just me or have you guys had problems with LED halos blowing out? Im on my second Led company & now having problems with this set. I don't have DRL on so I'm not over usng the blubs. Should I leave the compartment door open to release heat from bulbs n HID's?
They don't completely blow just half of the LEDs stop working.

sometimes if the capacitor is the problem with LED Bulbs i went through almost 5 pairs of led bulbs and tried everything that out there..so i just bite the bullet and did The Umnitza LED and have them opened up...much worth and Hassle free

Could just be as simple as you buying "junk." Let me preface I'm not saying you're cheap, and buying junk, but that the market is flooded with cheap stuff, often many brands are from the same manufacturer, just rebranded.

LED's are a finicky bunch, and brand/quality varies a lot. Just like how people love the OEM BMW LED's in their interior lights over many of the others out there that claim no flickering, etc. Just like how I absolutely love my CREES LED based flashlights over some of the other non-CREES LED's. Nothing like 900 lumens into the eyeballs of someone giving you a hardtime...

So that said, perhaps there is an OEM alternative? Or some other higher priced item from a super reputable vendor that will back the product they sell?

I hear ya. Is E92Lighting a reputable vender? $215 for V9 because These are the set I'm having a issue with now. I just did some review searching and a lot of complaints about this company.

Can't lie those look awesome but do I really wanna deal with having my housing opened? Let's say a 1 Led dies out now the housing needs to be opened again. Just doesn't feel right in my stomach to think about that. It's a CPO too
