Well i fitted mine the other day at 1pm, one was blown by 5pm  (kenny you were right  ) I think it was my own fault tho because i might have accidentally touched the bulb as i put it in BUT even tho I only have one light on, they are great  pics ppl have put up done do them justice they look exactly like H.I.Ds. I also got some sidelight L.E.Ds to match So I'm gonna buy another pack and replace and then i have 1 spare  £8 aint to bad, my last bulbs cost my £25! Then i found them on fleabay for £12

Did you get the 7000k ones?
If so they are nice as im the one who lead ppl to buy them lol, also if you have the nice baby blue led sidelights they look spot on 
Link for the baby blue LED sidelights? The Blue LED sidelights I have are so blaitantly illegal it's not even funny lol. I went with those xenon gas sidelights you suggested in the end which go well with the 7ks but not very bright if you just have the sidelights on.
I think this photo does them justice:

fitted last night and drove to work in the dark this morning so far I gotta say i'm not impressed old normal philips bulbs...  "New" HOD bulbs...  the field seems to have changed so much is it the same for those who fitted them? although I do have pre-facelift, but still seems strange that the field of light has changed so much

I think they look better to look at than to see from behind the wheel. Don't think mine seem as bad as the above pictures though. Will take some of my own to compare.
