I have the superbrightled's 6-led wedge bulbs in mine.... none have burned out yet.

I also have HID's though - they run cooler than halogens.

i think its safe to say that its hit or miss with leds no matter where you get them from.

I have not had any problems with any of the superbrightleds i have had.
I had the 6led wedge, it was forever before one of them gave way completely (the one was at 3leds for a few weeks)

i switched to the 5led wedge superbrights. they light up the housing more and look better imo, than the 6led wedge cause instead of six facing up from the base, its 4 out the sides and one highflux at the top.
