Well, the disclaimer from SuperbrightLEDs tells you that it voids your LEDs' warranty if you use them in the headlamps. They can't handle the heat. Don't know what else to tell ya.

its mostly hit and miss with the LED bulbs
i had the same ones you had in there for a long time before they went out.
i have the 5LED ones (one at the top and 4 out of the sides) right now and they have been good for the past couple of months.

angle of the led has absolutely nothing to do w/ anything! if they last, your lucky. i had mine for 5mo before one started to flicker... it IS hit and miss, they cant handle the heat, thus they act funky or burn out. if you must have them, buy in bulk!
