Front LED DTRL failure!
They lasted 20 months (previous 2 set less than a month - refunded) after fitting the last set of lamps, one has failed 2 out of the 6 units in one lamp have blown cost £24.99.
They seemed really well made alloy cases, I used extra sealant on the front lens area to keep water out. Looking for another set anyone here fitted any that have lasted ? |

Oh no that’s a bit rough isn’t it. I was going to try fitting some but I have such little faith in LED lamps I didn’t bother.
Halfords sell some Ring LED DRLs which in theory are a good brand. |

I mentioned in another thread that I have purchased some off Ebay, and so far they are good, but only been on the car 18 months. |

One last try then I am taking them off !!
Found these on e-bay they are 1700 lumens as opposed to my old ones being 1500 lumens and a tad taller.
If they end up too bright might have to re-wire as driving lights with main beam. Attracted to 3 year warranty by manufacturer - probably worthless.lol https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Durite-12...53.m1438.l2649 |

Durite stuff is usually pretty decent quality.
We use a fair bit of their components at work. |

I've got a durite 12 volt compressor which is the same spec as a T max and it's had some heavy use and still going strong after 3 years.
