I bought the exact same ones, they started to fail within minutes. Also the base was to thick and bent some of the contacts. i contacted the seller who happily sent me a replacement set (slightly different bulbs) which have lasted around 2 months and some are starting to flicker. Both types of bulbs looked like the cheap Chinese type, poor build and quality.
The only way to ensure quality is to spend big bucks on Osram or Philips. MY12 RRS HSE

I got my kit last week and have only fitted the odd one or two bulbs so far as they are not as bright as the old ones they are ment to be replacing and do look like cheap Chinese bulbs. Not sure what 4 of the bulbs are for as not found any of the used in the sport. 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

England 2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Fuji White

I’ve just finished installing my kit from precision LED and they look pretty good so far. Had an issue with the vanity mirror LEDs, as they are not premium (due to the size required) they only work in one orientation. Unfortunately I blew a few fuse on the first attempt and decided I’d leave it until I can identify the correct way round to install them. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Don't do what I did when changing the LED bulbs and blew a fuse!
I pulled what I thought was the right fuse, then realised it wasn't, I put it back and the engine started (no key in ignition!!).
I couldn't turn it off and had to pull the fuel pump fuse to get the engine to stop!!
Turned out I blew the BCM (Body Control Module) and cost me £2,500 to get fixed!!!
Heed my warning!!! Dumb mistake, lesson learned but hope no one else ever makes the same mistake as me! Embarassed 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Lux Orkney Grey

Thought that I would add my experience to this thread.

I purchased a LED interior lighting upgrade kit on eBay from a Chinese supplier. Initially I was pleased with the kit and the LED bulbs gave a much brighter white light with no Canbus errors and easy to fit. But, after 3 months the bulbs are starting to become faulty 1 by 1. One of the LED 'panels' on each of the faulty bulbs has started to flash on and off. I fitted a total of 11 bulbs and 5 are now faulty with a very annoying flashing strobe effect.

Lesson learnt, don't buy cheap import LED bulbs; you get what you pay for!

I think that I will exchange each of the bulbs, as they become faulty, with a quality Philips or Osram alternative as suggest by Col earlier in this thread Thumbs Up

Even the Philips one's are made on China Rolling with laughter but obviously far superior quality. Thumbs Up
