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
V

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??
