Hey I've always found Halford LED bulbs to be very reliable. I've had a pair of sidelight LEDs in my Porsche 986 for 2 years now. Forget eBay ones. I've wasted a fortune on those lol.
I bought some sidelight bulbs from Halfrauds. Paid quite a lot of money for them ( over £20 for the pair ) and after 18 months one started to go on and off randomly, I had the original Halfrauds packaging ( with a picture of the bulb on it ) but receipt had disappeared ( who keeps receipts for small items, especially cash ones ). Took them back to Halfords and complained ( they had a 5 year warranty ) explained I did not have receipt but they were Halfords own brand, in original packaging and only sold by Halfords and that I bought them as soon as they appeared in the store so could not be much more than 18 months old, it all fell on deaf ears and for £20 they lost me as a customer. I even emailed Halfords HQ at Redditch and went to the top ( I was a bit fed up by this time ). My logical arguments that the bulbs had Halfords on them, original packaging ( I had put the old filament bubs into the packaging in glovebox, I had to refit those filament bulbs) they had only been selling them for less than two years so could not be over 5 years old etc. etc. I used to spend hundreds of pounds a year with Halfords ( I got batteries, oil, wiper blades, redex etc.) But what do I spend now - nothing at all..... it would have been worth the money for them to get a faulty bulb back for inspection for manufacturing or design faults, but they missed out.
