    Default Philips LED T10 W5W - yay or nay?

    I have 2010 SSV ute - so projector headlamps etc

    Already done the HID for fog lights and low beam and have the above bulbs for park lights but not fitted yet.

    Are they any good? I ask as they are called "interior white light 4000k" but they seem oj to use - from my reading of posts etc some say they melt, are rubbish, crap out in a matter of months (or all 3) and don't use, but other posts say they are great

    Can anyone help with their personal experience so I can decide yay or nay about putting them in?

    Had mine in for 2 weeks and no probs. Seem to match my 4300K HID well.

    I actually ran the LED's for 6 hours from my 14v power supply at work to see if they'd melt but after a while they hit what seemed maximum temp without melting. The copper slug was too hot to touch, so the LED's aren't going to last the rated 50,000hrs but who cares

    Here's a comparison I did... LED Park bulbs

    Don't have any in-car photos yet, but will get some soon.
