I put LEDS on my bumper lights.. (2000 LS 400 Clear corners)

They BOTH are now dead.. its only been 4 months
Is this normal.. I thought LEDS lasted a long time.????

 

Generally, they do last a long time...longer than your regular bulbs. But for that to happen it all comes down to the quality of the LEDs and how/where they've been assembled. From my experience, I've noticed certain types of LED bulbs burn out a lot faster than others and some last for years and years.

For example, this oval wide angle lens LED has lasted me for years:

Whereas, this 5-LED matrix bulb lasts about a couple of months before the smaller side LEDs start burning out:

What brand LEDs did you buy? Try a reputable brand if you've been buying off eBay because I've been using PIAA LED for over 2 years and they are bright as the day I installed them. Good luck.

 

I don't know what brand they are ?? I got them from
http://autolumination.com/906.htm

 

I installed them at the same exact time.. and it seems like they both went out at the same exact time.. Maybe its the fuse??

I'll figure it out today

 

The likelihood that both LEDs would burn out at exactly the same time is very slim. I'd bet on it being a fuse problem.

 

Just checked the fuses.
LEDS ARE DEAD
Not a fuse problem. They only lasted 4 months.. Will try another type of LED

 

Yeah, there goes my second guess since the fuses are fine. If you need size 168/194 then I'd go with PIAA definitely.

 

how do the oval wide angle lens compare to stock halogen in regards to angle and lighting?
