Default tyc led dimmer than the rest?

hey guys. two of my leds on my tyc tail lights are dimmer than the others.

they still light up and all, but they are noticeably different.

i had them off a few days ago to tint everything but the led and reverse section.


anyone have this problem? is this what they do be4 they go out?

or could it possibly be a wire or something like that? im not really looking to bake them or cut them open. i guess ill have to get a replacement if they go out.

lmk if you have had the same problem and what you did, or if u may have any ideas on what i could do.


thanks!

They're soldered to a board so there's nothing you can do short of replacing the LEDs themselves if they do go out.

called them. i have the platinum warranty or whatever so its covered they told me. im not sure if they will do it just because they are dimming. im going to go let them take a look at it tomorrow.

i wonder if they will say anything because they are tinted.

make sure the lights are under warranty. if you installed them yourself, they won;t replace it. and it doesn't matter if yours are tinted. mine was they just told me that i'm responsible for re-tinting it.
