Just a question,
Is there anyone else out there which installed EAU5015HPW-501/194/T10 Mini Light Tower and have had problems with them so far ?
I had four of them, all are gone, even those for the license plate.
They are used quite frequently, but as frequent as my other LEDs: interior and brake/rear lights.
thanks D4

\yes, I have these exact lamps in my number plate lamps and my front side lamps
They have been in use for 2 months without any problems
How long have you had them? I think they are covered by a 90-day warranty.

Thanks TazDaz,
I had them since June.
I know about the warranty, but that's an issue I don't want to discuss about on here.
I have that bad habit of turning my lights on each time I drive around (is actually imposed by law in some countries, so that might not be an issue). But then again, I'd expect problems with the other types of LEDs as well, realizing it was my bad habit which causes the problems. D4

I just installed a whole lot. I noticed that on a few of them i had to bend the little wire conductors towards the outside of the plastic connector, otherwise they didn't maake proper contact with the housing in the LR. have you ruled out connection problems, or havve the units actually failed?
It may be that they have "settled" in the housings a bit and lost connecttion
BTW, I also noticed that you need 17 for a full install, ie. including front markers, license plate, and interior maplights & footwell lights

Ultra LEDs are very good and have supplied me and a few mates about £500 worth of bulbs for the caravans and boat. D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

Thanks Baben,
I had to bend the wire connectors on other LEDs, the ones used for the interior (top and doors), but didn't have to for those mentioned in the first post.
I did have rule out connection problems.
As a matter of fact, they didnt go dead like, snap, over. It's more like one of the six which starts to flicker, followed by another one, and eventually going dead one by one ... doesn't seem a connection problem at all to me. D4

Thanks n1cktdv6 and WillMyth
I don't expect anyone here to have any issues, since they keep telling me that I'm the only customer who does seem to have problems ... D4

I have had the same LEDS that you have, fitted to the front side lamps and they starts to burn some mini LEDS and flickering after only 3 months, other ones I have for the license plate, side turn signals and reverse light are still looking cool.
BTW when I ordered the LEDS there were some LEDS (for the rears) missing from the package, I emailed them since last February and they said they will send me the missing LEDS after few days. But I'm still waiting for them to build me the ROCKET that will deliver the LEDS to KUWAIT '05 LR3 HSE V8 - Adriatic Blue - Larini Exhaust System - Lamp Guards - Dual battery system - Hidden 12k winch - Rasta Sump Guard

I got some from superbright LEDs for the interior and the same happened one LED started to flicker. It happened on two out of five. I didn't bother replacing as they are very blue so I put Narva artic white ones in.
Maufacturing fault probably. I think the actual LEDs are made in China. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

The interior lights take a small wedge globe. The are various options of LED clusters. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
