Default Issues with LED headlights...please help

I just noticed that my LEDs on one of my headlights - 2012 isn't working anymore. All the other lights work however the led region isnt working? Could it be my fuse or wiring? I just don't understand why it stopped working...

Thanks

Would just the led blow out just with the fuse? The headlight and turning signal work.

Does the LED strip work on 50% intensity? is it factory fitted or did you install these headlamps?

I installed it on my 2007 IS350. The LED light is dim, flinkering. It was working for a few months at 100% brightness. I have no idea what happened. The right headlight is 100% functional.

Sounds like something has gone wrong with the LED circuit, specially since it is working on 50% and flickering. How did you wire the 50% and the 100%, what power source did you use? how long have you had these installed?

These have been installed for 6 months. I went on a long road trip and they stopped working correctly. I wired it to be at 100% percent -all of the time. I can't find the picture I used. I am wondering if the wire is loose as the headlights and the turning signal work??
