My LED dome light bulbs died... how?

[taimyshukah]

I just install my led dome light bulbs a few nights ago. They were working fine.

Today i took my car into best buy to get some stereo work done and later on that night i realized my LED's weren't working anymore. Only the mini map light on the passenger side still works. I kept the original map light bulb in there. When i put the original bulbs back in, I get light.

Could my LED's have burned out or something while they were working on my car at Best Buy? Is it Best Buy's fault?

Check the fuses, thats most likely it. If not, something happened and you currently have roasted LEDs, but i doubt it. Check you fuses firest for most electrical problem such as lights, etc.

When i put my factory bulbs back into the dome light, it works. So i guess my LED's were roasted some how.... Man, i just got those too!

complain to the sellers of your LED lights.

they get roasted if you give them too much power, so maybe the ones your had could only handle it for a little bit ... get resistors ?

I'm not too familiar with electronics, so im not sure if it has a resistor or not. I bought the bulbs from here: http://autolumination.com/festoon.htm

They're the twin super high-flux LED's. $10 bucks a piece!!

I purchased the same type of leds for my car. The led ones in the license plate died and I didnt know it until I was pulled over by the police. The front dome led died and the rear passenger led died also. All in one month. I purchased from the same site, I even still have the reciept.

Now my rear dome light bulbs work again... This is wierd!! I was getting off of work and i noticed that it was working again. I took that rear bulb out and put it in the front. So basically i have one really bright LED working. Hopefully, the rest come back on some how...
