Parking lights are white at night

I have a 2009 Toyota Corolla and they have replaced the factory turn signals/parking lights on the front of the car. At night, the parking lights shine in snow-white light. In fact, I daresay they illuminate the roadsides quite well. And the yellow direction indicators illuminate the area very well! I paired them with super white JDM ASTAR LED bulbs for the back of the crown. Since I had 4 LEDs on the front and back, I bought 4 x 50 ohm resistors and connected them in parallel at the back of the car. I'm pretty sure if I remembered the physics I could just get two 25 ohm resistors or something. I bought them in December 2016 and installed them as soon as they got here. Here I am writing a review for them in June 2017. The rear LED in the front and the white ones in the back held up pretty well. Unfortunately, the front right now sometimes works. The problem appeared almost 2 weeks ago. The white LED didn't come on, but the yellow one worked fine. Plugged in the factory bulb and it worked. I put the LED back in and it would have the same problem. I even swapped the LEDs to different sides and it had the same problem. JDM ASTAR Help! I love the rear derailleurs but now my headlights look wonky at night. Edit July 11, 2017 I contacted Jdm Astar and got a quick response from the warranty department. I sent the old one and received the new one within 1.5 weeks. You are very professional!
