T10 LED replacement bulbs suck

[K'hermiit]

I bought some cute red colored LED 194's for dash gauges on my old VW. What a mistake. The little bulbs began catching fire inside my gauges after about 9 months. I went back to incandescent 194's until something actually better comes along. LED's have great potential, but there are tons of shitty ones out there manufactured to the lowest possible standard.
