This. I havent had any issues with my leds at all.

@Dozer360
Are you using SMD leds or the cheaper "bulb type" leds?

Cheaper bulb types

SMD leds

Bottom line: get SMD leds :)

anybody got any good reviews of some? point me in the right direction.

Failed the MOT with a wheel bearing having excessive play. One new bearing later (and a new ABS sensor that broke when being removed) it passed later in the day with no advisories. £206 all in didn't seem too steep.
