There are a couple reasons why these bulbs may not be lasting:
-poor material quality (the used cheap stuff to make it hence poor product)
-poor workmanship (the components were ok, but they're too good at what they do)
-partial compatability (Just because it fits, and turns on doesn't means that its truely compatable. Little variances in the wattage/voltage can effect the life of the LED. And depending on how they made the circuit one bad LED could ruin the whole cluster.)

I have used and ordered multiple times from them. As everybody said, do not use these for the clearance, they make a warning regarding this and heat issue. I too am runing w/o the clearance since it's PITA to change out and I sorta like the look w/o the clearance (not sure why many sweat it in the first place). The liscene plate is just like Puria said, they do last longer, but they will first flicker, then poof be gone. It's much easier to replace, so I still use it for the liscense plate lights. I always order 6+ leds each time b/c shipping is like a flat $5 so save yourself the trouble and order 1-3 extra sets of bulbs you plan to replace.

Nice - looks promising.

I replaced all the lights inside. Step, top map lights. I like having the white lights. I think it all matches well and looks good. Sorry no pics though.
