right every time i get a set of leds they work for about 3-4 months and then a bulb light comes up on the dash saying the bulb is out when its not.. id turn my sidelights on it will come on for a few seconds and then go out... until i buy another brand new set of bulbs again ! i was wondering has anything tried these from ebay? and do you think it will work ?

To be honest the only ones I have used were from hids-direct and I only kept them for about three months and then I changed the headlights themselves so I had no use for them. They worked pretty good and error free, however, and a lot of people seem to have success with ones from hids-direct so I'd give them a shot. Keep in mind, though, that the CAN-BUS sidelights have built-in resistors which are considerably weak and don't last very long, which is probably why they give you an error after four months of usage (although ideally they should last longer than that).

Ahh i see!
the ones i have are from HID Direct, all my bulbs are. Im happy with them, other then the bulb error when i start up i have no issues. but then, seeing as ive changed so many bulbs now i expected it to throw a fit somewhere.
