aldebaran Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice job on the LEDs. Do check on your license plate LEDs from time to time. I've noticed some LED elements failing after several weeks of use. I'm assuming you are using the LED festoon bulbs on your license plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldebaran Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Thanks.. funny that you mention the license plate bulbs.. I have one flickering from time to time Flickering is a sign that they are about to fail. From experimenting with different LED bulbs, I've noticed the ones with fewer elements last longer than those with more. My single element 194 LED bulbs have yet to fail whilst I've already gone through several sets of 9-element, 44mm, 39mm festoons and 5-element 194 bulbs.I think heat is the culprit for those failures.I like the 'Super Star' LEDs because they come as either one or two incredibly bright LEDs per fixture and they have a nice metal case which acts as a heat dissipator.

I had the 1 element leds in there but the effect isn't as prominant. I have 6 element led bulbs in my instrument cluster. They better last til i move to FL.

I would recommend greatly.+1Here are those 'Super Stars' in a 194 packageIn a 31mm festoon packageOr a 44mm festoon packageThe only problem I noted was that the 194 Super Star LED bulbs give off a vapor that clouds your reflectors, if you use them as DRL in your headlamp reflector housing. I immediately took them off and used some PIAA LEDs instead, which I've been using for the past 6+ months and have yet to fail.Just thought I'd post my sources for LED for those interested in upgrading.PIAA LED siteAutoluminationSuperBrightLEDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
