That all depends on the particular lights and adapters you're referring to.

I have the RDash LEDs myself, and made up some custom resistors for them (after disassembling my first set of RDash heatsinks - the first set were faulty and they sent me a second set), and they work a treat. Very low heat and no bulb-out errors at all, thanks to the spec of resistor I've used.

There are various LED and adapter/resistor combos available, many of which work fine.

I previously had the globe LED's, but after a week or so, they blew.

Ended up buying the full LED housing that you find on ebay for $45... heaps better.

^ They are worth every cent if your after a bright look. I've had them for over 1 year on the mk6 golf with no issues at all.
