long-lasting bulbs even when pounding the truck?
I have finally had enough of replacing bulbs every week because of my very rough and long driveway.
Have you off-roaders found bulbs [headlights, taillights, running lights, dash lights, etc] that hold up well off-road? I know the LED lights last a long time but do they last off-road as well? Had the same problem with my shop drop lights- switched them over to appliance bulbs and they now last quite a while, instead of a new bulb every time they are used. I replace at LEAST one bulb every week on all our vehicles.... real tired of the hassle......... Thanks,

I usually don't have too many problems but I don't really have any suggestions either.

The LED will last forever your not going to bust an LED light by vibration like a reguler light . My Buell use to go threw tail lights around 1 a month from vibration I put LEDs in it and I havent replaced one in 3 years.

LED's and H4 bulbs will last longer than any filament bulb. Can't garuntee they will last forever, but the LED's we carry have a lifetime garuntee so you should never have to pay for those again at least. We can also supply DOT legal H4 headlights as well.

Re: long-lasting bulbs even when pounding the truck?
It's not the age of the truck- I bought my F250 [I know, I know, down, guys] new and started replacing bulbs the first week. Marker lights, tail lights, headlights....
Three years???????????????????? THAT is sweet! So how does that work, Mike? If I buy the LEDs from you and have one or more burn out I have to send them back and then wait for you to send a replacement? I appreciate the thought but a new regular bulb is cheaper than shipping ![]() Also, aren't the LEDs soldered in so you would have to solder in a new bulb if one went out? I have been reading for a couple years now about how the LEDs outlast regular bulbs, but mine don't wear out they just get vibrated so bad they just quit Broken filaments]. I guess I don't understand enough about how the LEDs work?????????? Thanks to all,
