I have 6 leds across the top of each headlight and the first 3 of them in a row are out on the driver’s side. I doubt they are burnt out since I’ve only had them for a couple of months and leds last forever. What could the problem be and how would I fix it?

 

They are probably burnt out from the heat inside the housing. Replace them then upgrade the wiring running to them. But this is why u shouldnt buy ebay headlights.

 

I didn't buy them, I got them as a gift, so i couldn't really say no lol. They look like they aren't wired bulbs, but are actually an led on a board. How would I get to these easily?

 

to get to those LEDs u gotta

SHAKE-N-BAKE





acctually u just have to bake them open

 

LMAO....that's great....gotcha.

 

Or put an eyelid over them.

 

^ X2
eyelid would be easiest and would look good too

 

how will that solve the heating issue?
does anybody know anything about electronics? Because the more i read your forum, the more retarded comments I see when it comes to modifying certain parts.

 

The eyelids wouldnt solve the heat problem, it solves the problem of having to see the leds.

 

I believe on the eyelid comment he was referring to a way to keep it so that you dont see the cheap LEDs that burn out. Those ebay type of headlights are known for having their LEDs burn out. Even if you change the wiring for the tubes our headlights get to hot for LEDs to work well for a long period of time. So its easier to just add an eyelid and forget about the LEDs. And if you keep getting "retarded" responses to your questions, try a different forum.

 

^ But it'd still look bad when one portion is lit up whereas the other isn't. In any case, it won't help him save his problem to begin with.
The problem lies with the module that sets the signal for that portion of the headlight to stay on all the times or off. The best option is a multiLED setup "superflux" with a circuit board. Then, add some heat shield(i don't remember the name right now) so disperse the heat. LEDs last longer than HID's

 

Ummmm.....eyelids it is. Thanks guys for the opinions.

 

You're wrong. It wouldn't still look bad because all of the LED's are covered, so one prtion would NOT light up. That is what eyelids do, and it's a cheap option to fix them which is apparently what mjonz20 agreed with.

Or, he could do the retarded thing and spend money doing your idea only to have tacky looking LED's burn out again from the heat of the HIDs. But you know, whatever.

 

uhhh how should i respond to someone who doesn't know anything about leds, HID's and halogens.
HID releases LESS heat than Halogens (10F difference!)
It looks bad when you turn your signal and only one portion of the oem eyelid flickers rapidly.
Also, LED's (flux) cost 10 bucks a sheet (which has 10 leds). That should easily solve the problem but as a temporary solution, some eyelids would work fine.
BTW, retarded idea and wasting 10 bucks on something that will outlast HID's is something you've never experienced with.
You obviously don't know the life rate of leds

 

^^ and you apparently never experienced LEDs burning out from crappy designs.

and since when did an oem eyelid have lights? the OP has crappy cheap aftermarket ones.

 

I'm not quite sure how to respond so you're simple mind can understand. But since when did he mention he has HID's? Halogens and HID's both put out enough heat to ruin LED's regardless of what kind you use, when they are as close to the headlights as these are. Also, the LED's are not the turn signal, so why would they be flickering rapidly? You obviously don't know about headlights. And clearly, reading comprehension owns you. Try reading a pop-up book on modding a car, maybe that will help. Then all of a sudden the responses on this forum won't seem as "retarded" to you as they do now.

 

Design has nothing to do with it unless there's plenty of ventilation cooling off the system. Guess you guys don't know the new LS600h projectors setup huh? Or the Murano's new setup.
So you guys would know, t hey use projective setup with leds attached to the sides.
Design is not a problem. What materials used is. Why do you think ebay cheapo ccfl(commonly known as angel eyes) burn in a few months but bmw's lasts for years?
They are installed within the same range.
Again, go fix up leds then come back and talk.

 

wow, striker still doesnt get it?

i was gonna explain more but something better called my attention and i forgot to and coming back, i dont feel like repeating anything again.

 

lol @ striker...

Again, show me where the OP said anything about HID's or about the eyelids acting as a turn signal, then come back and talk. Or better yet, don't because you clearly don't know anything, and talking out of your @ss is humilating you. You are not the HID/LED/Projector guru that some drunken fool apparently persuaded you into believing you are.

 

you're comparing oem/factory setups...
to crappy ebay/aftermarket ones..

thanks for making alot of sense.

btw, usage and choosing materials are part of the design process.
