I got a pair of bright white LED festoon bulbs for the rear number plate, but they dont seem to last. Ive been through 2 sets in 2 months. Got them off ebay. Anyone else had any problems or recommend a brand that will last ?

Yes, they won't last beacuse I think the rear number plates run off 14.4 volts and it burns out the regular festoons.
You can buy special ones from here:
http://42draftdesigns.3dcartstores.com/145v-White-39mm-Fuse-Style-LED_p_39-32.html
However I've fitted this type and they have lasted at least 6-8 months with no issues so far.
They are the same type i've fitted in glove box and boot also.

ok thanks for the info and links guys. Voltage thing explains why there dying then. Ive used the same bulbs from the same ebay seller for the complete interior aswell and there all fine but then i guess there not on for very long unlike the numberplate lights.
just noticed I've linked you to "red" festoons
I'm using the same type but in bright white
yer, i did spot that, i guessed you were just linking me to the site. Just ordered some of the cool white versions, thanks again
cool. Didn't want you to click the "buy Now" icon and be the proud owner of some chavtastic red festoons
then id have to go and get the matching LED jetwashers aswell
Had mine in for nearly two years now, non blown.Got them from http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/warden-jp2002__W0QQ_armrsZ1 search 39mm festoons.
I won't use anyone else for leds, his are superb.
