Default Facing a reoccurring problem

And im about to fix it!

My dang LED bulbs on my instrument panel are still going out! My new white ones lasted roughly a month and same with my brand new blue ones.

I've got a spare cluster so im going to hack apart the housing to run a LED strip light. BOOM problem solved and I'll be able to change my color to however I feel that day. Im going to make this an actual thread with pictures.

Do you think the problem is being caused by poor quality led's? Or maybe there's a short in your dash pot?
