Over a few months now, still working great!


The trick is you need to take the housings out and bend the tabs in with a set of pliers, to make them hug the bulb contacts tighter, that way when you close the trunk or something the bulb holders stay tight onto the bulbs.


i had problems initially with the bulb holders having poor contact but that was not the fault of the bulbs themselves. good luck!
