i think u might have LED's still...

incandescent's look like this


Go wire a resistor in. i think it's the current spike - do you start the car with the lights on?

[Mikeyy168]

Nah never start the car with the lights on

The second pair I had was weird. I forgot to mention this...

The Parker appeared to be blown but when I opened the hood and took out the socket, I pushed the Parker in a bit and moved it around and it went bright again but if it moved a little then it would go dim again... Hope I explained that properly lol

If you get higher grade led's you dont have to worrie about voltage/ current spikes, i use these in a couple cars and they have lasted well over a year so far and still going strong.
These are the ones i use and the site i recommend.

They are non-polarizred and are rated to 30 v rather than cheap ebay ones that are rated at 12v.

Nearly every bulb in my car is Led, i dont use a resistor box, just good quality Leds.

the cheap ebay ones blow very easy. Noticed they blew more when I had epic audio setup, thus dimming lights on sub hit. But since down sizing audio and increasing earthing all over, LED's have been lasting almost a year now. Your other option is to just buy a bulk lot and keep few i car to swap as they blow. Cost me $10 for about 15 a while ago, hustle ebay hong kong seller lol

haha, im actually gonna go with TbM's suggestion and get the 30V ones and if that fails im gonna put in the resistor box.

thanks so much for everyones help!
