Lightbulb 194 LED Bulbs for Headlight unit

Ive been looking around for sometime now and cannot find the right item. I have a set of 6000k hid headlights and every time I replace my parking bulbs in the headlight unit, they end up burning out.

I have bought the LEDs from meng and oznium and from local retail stores and some from amazon but they all burn out after like a month or so.

For those of you in the same situation, how did you solve this issue because I'm frankly tired of spending money on them. Any brand you use that I have missed and had success with it?

Any suggestion is welcomed.

Could you please tell me where you got yours? Brand or a link would be greatly appreciated. Seems like no matter where I buy it from they end up burning or melting.

If you have 05-07 headlights. Stop wasting your money on those led bulbs. They burn out from the heat of your hids. Even though the hids are 35w...unless u run a diff wattage.

Just get the bulbs that are designed for the car yo. If u have 08+ headlights. Ur burning them out if u use high beams a lot with the 65watt high beams! Lol

Thanks, I went to autozone today and they said that 194 size bulbs are the wrong one and I need to get the 168. So I decided not to buy the 194 until I do a bit research.

Yes I do own a 2007 tc and no matter what kind of led I buy, they burn or melt like within few weeks. What do you mean by get the ones designed for the car I own? Like stock bulbs. The round ugly looking filament bulbs? I hate those lol but thanks for your input.
