Default LED Gauge Cluster Bulbs

So the other night I notice that my gauge lights were kind of flickering. From bright to low light and so forth. It was really weird. I got the LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com. Is this a problem with the bulbs themselves or what?

Those are the ones I bought.

Sounds like one of the LED's is going out. Probably due to a poor solder connection inside the bulb itself of one of the 5 LED's.

Default defective LED's possibly

I just read (within past 5 days) another poster's thread about a batch of LED's from Superbright that were defective and would cause this. Search for dash light update threads in the 928 lists from the past 20 days and I bet you'll find it.
