You may consider rewiring to another source. i feel like those LED's need a higher amp load. you need to consider a higher amp fuse as a start. if that doesnt work youll need to rewire to a better source. If it was my call i would run from the fuse box. there is accessory, ignition, and battery sources. I ran a wire for my gauges from the ignition. those are a 15amp source, id run a 14g wire and T-tap a lead for your LED's.
