It is not that it is cheap, it is designed to attract people who think more is better. You might want to check to see how much voltage your alternator is giving during your car startup. A surge will kill LEDs just like that, if you want your bulb to last always have a voltage conditioner before the LED bulbs. LED are essentially chips, it doesn't take much to fry them. On the bright side, most people who retrofit LED into older cars will blow out the lights right away, rather than on the road with the horrible glare with HID retrofit.

Take a look at Luxeon bulbs they have 2 LEDs but with good cooling design and will be way brighter than the bulbs you got.
