Here is the response I got to my e-mail...
"Hello Kurt,
This is not the first time I have heard of this problem.
We either have a bad batch or they should not be used in this application (have not heard of failures in other applications).
I would not recommend trying another set.
Please send them back for a refund or exchange for the 3157-W12 bulbs.
Thanks,
Greg"
Even though the W-12's arent as bright, I dont mind too much!

What brand are you guys using again? I found another website that looks very promising. The white LED's are much cheaper than the website I already posted.

Haven't ordered from this place yet, so I don't know about quality or customer service.

Kurt,
That sucks. I was hoping it was just me.
I put my 12LED bulbs in and I those are acting funny too. One of them wouldn't turn on and the other one had LEDs going out. I would probably just get a refund. I might have to do the same.
The website we are getting them from is SuperbrightLEDS.com also. The rest of my bulbs work great for the interior so I guess it must be a voltage problem.

That website has the same problem in fact all leds used for replacement bulbs will. They just aren't made to be on all the time like for drl. I used the other site for some 194 leds and never had any promblems with them but as soon as I used the 3157 they went out in about a month. I want to try the silvania silverstars and see how they work.Let me know if yall have any luck with any other bulbs becuase the yellowish stock ones suck
