I had thoes in for about a week and found they were to bright so I put the old clusters back on and bought 2 x 36 mm led canbus error free bulbs from fleabay for peanuts and I've had no issues with them and they are not to bright there bang on dp you still have the old lenses you could go down that route?

I've had a set of the same lights in mine for a year now, and they've never missed a beat. Luck of the draw, I guess.

ha ha I feel your pain man.
Once there is a lose connection or dry joint on one of the components then the DIS will keep bleeping over every bump or brake or... corner. I went mad,pulled over and unscrewed one of the damn things in the dark and rain just for some peace and quiet !! I have since bought a few different kinds to try but also a set of 10 halogen bulbs so I have something to replace the LED with just in case I have another round of bleeping hell !
