LED Turn Signals

I was looking into the realm of turn signal bulbs to upgrade my recently acquired 2011 x sedan. I wanted to upgrade to LEDs and found that the best option for me would be switchback bulbs. I've heard of Diode Dynamics and am familiar with them, as I have their "Tail as Turn" Module already and it works flawlessly.
I wanted some feedback/insight; Diode Dynamics switchback turn signals or LASFIT?
Both at the same price point ($60 on Diode Dynamics and $60 on amazon for LASFIT)

Seen/heard good things about LASFIT but my whole car is Diode Dynamics and I will probably always use them. They were my first mod and in the almost 6 years I've had my car, I've only had to replace I think 2 bulbs. The only thing I can't speak on is the longevity of the LASFIT as they are fairly new. DD has a better warranty, 3 years vs LASFIT's 1 year.

Thanks a lot. How’s the heat dissipation on the diode dynamics switchbacks? Because i have heard that the LASFIT’s may overheat even after just 30 seconds of continued usage. So much for using your hazard lights.

I have the LASFIT 7443 switchbacks. My most favorite lighting upgrade I've done. My hazards were on for at least 5 minutes straight while my inspection was being done, and there was no overheating or hyper blinking. I'm sure eventually they would hyperblink since it's a built in resistor, but how often do we use our blinker that long? Worst comes to worst, there will be hyperblink after an extended period of time. I've been using them for about a month and a half and have had no issues

I ended up going with the LASFIT's and I am going to end up returning them. After about 3 minutes of usage they hyperblinked and overheated, and on top of that the bulbs are just overkill. They're too bright. The Diode Dynamics ones have less LEDs, 3 year warranty vs the LASFIT one year, and I don't see any heating issues.
