I have found LED bulbs are a mixed bag of quality, comes down to seller -
I have found ebay seller Lush UK, Not the cheapest, stuff tends to be good, hth:

You're probably already aware if you've got LED's in but on my 08 model they cause the dash bulb light to show so i fitted standard ones as it was annoying.

edit: The LED's i bought were these as they were reduces at Halfords, seemed fine for the short time they were in

Mine have showed no faults. As long as they are error free it should be OK?.
