I've done quite a few LED bulb swaps in my daily driving vehicles, so I'm not new to this. Unfortunately, experience has taught me that many of the LED bulbs are poorly constructed and die an early death. Others direct the light in a manner that isn't conducive to the particular application. Most of the time, reality isn't discovered until the bulbs are purchased and installed. That's why I was looking for a recommendation from this list. I figure if something worked well, then why try to experiment? Thanks for the replies.

Dataway, I'm have trouble figuring out exactly which bulb you bought from Rock Auto. If you should find the part number and can share it, I would appreciate it.
