DRL bulbs that last?

[Merc1973]

Any recommendations for LED DRL blulbs? I got some JDM Astar 3157 amber, brightest one they make with the lens in front. Looked great, only lasted 6 months though. I need bulbs that last longer than that. I even replaced the sockets since i thought that was the proble.m. The sockets were burned and crispy from the PO. Still only a couple leds partially light up. I like the Amber for DRL.

I've had the Aaron ones from Amazon for about 2 years with no issues. Iirc, I had to slightly file to fit a tiny bit. They say backup but I used for drl and used my jtm ones fine in the backup lights.

Just out of curiosity, why use 3157? When I Googled looking to see what bulb belongs in my 2003 Yukon, I was pointed to the 4114 by several sites. I recently replaced my DRLs with 4114 Sylvania Zevo (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A77U85C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_NPDDzbJSWQ0V9)

I ordered a set of led 4114 bulbs from hidkitpros.com. They were the only true led 4114 bulb that I could find anywhere. The come with a pretty solid warranty and look amazing, I highly recommend them.

I also have these and have had them installed for the past 3 months or so and no issues. Work great. I'd definitely recommend them as they were highly recommended to me when I was looking.

Thanks. Not many have long term reviews on these LEDs. I ended up getting the 5702KA (amber) incandescent bulbs which seem to last for years. Regular 3157 do not last long at all and left my sockets melted even worse. I will update when i return back from vacation.

I could come up with a great solution if you tell me price range and how bright you want them to be. Oem beam pattern is one of the main features our leds will provide over the cheap stuff. Also beware a cheap Drl could melt the base of the bulb to the socket and create a smog inside the lamps.
