This can't be normal... RD LEDs acting funny..

About a month ago, my RD LED went out

I contacted Frank from M-Force for a replacement (verryyy fast shipment )

Now, my other one is acting funny...

These are only about 3 months old!!!!

When I would unlock the car and the courtesy light would come up, the lights would light about .5 seconds apart... annoying and weird but I could live with it...
but this... I don't know what to do..

I know that if I contact Frank he'll definitely take care of me but wtf is going on? I haven't heard of anyone have so much trouble with the RD LEDs before...
After my friend saw it on my car (before it was like this..) they liked it and got their own sets.. none of them are having any problems...
I put my stocks back one, no problems whatsoever...
Checked the wiring from the cylinder thing to the bulb and everything is connected normal...

i dont have experience with RDs but just to make sure that the problem is truly with the RDs, you can switch the passenger side to the driver side and vice versa... if the problem switches to the other side after you made the light switch then you know its the lights for sure.

it's trying to talk to you. She's winking at you and telling you to go inside.

i've also had problems with RD leds, my first set on my first car which the right light burnt within a week. My second set on my second car, right light burnt out within 2 weeks. Alot of defective bulbs out there. It either dies early or last a good couple years.
