Vleds had a problem emailed and they got right back to me shipped out new module and never made me ship out the old ones back. It was a fuse. I changed the fused and it hasnt been a problem.

I had the same VLED kit as the OP. Right after installation one of the LED panels on one of the bulbs wasn't functioning. I was given a replacement bulb, ran them for 8 months and one of the bulbs blew out. I don't want to deal with getting another bulb so im going with a JDM yellow for my drl.

So Was it the module or the fuse?

Was the fuse that burnt out. Checked it out its the one that sits on the opposite side of the intake box on the drivers side. There is four fuses that sit side ways.

Did you have to buy the fuses or did you use the one on your intake box?

Running vleds for about a year now and the only issue I had initially after install was a little flickering in one of the lights. E-mailed velds and they sent a replacement out quickly with no questions asked.

Problem free eversince then. I have vleds all over my ride with no issues and some close to 2 years now and still going strong.

I would def buy from VLEDS again

I ordered these. They look good but stopped working within a week

i ordered the same exact kit, and i have had mine installed for a month or 2 and no issues, check to see if you have them pluged in correctly. and if so then ask for a replacement. GL

Sounds like a defective decoder that overloaded the fuse causing it to blow. Send the decoders back for new ones.

Depending on the fuse there should be an extra on the inside of the fuse box cover. Otherwise you can get one for a buck or so.
