Default LED switchback problem.

Is this just a burnt out bulb? I bought these from autolumination a few months ago and it just started doing this today.

Housings are brand new and they are 45 tower LED's I believe with an EP-28 LED flasher.


And 3 rows of LED's (Just amber) on the passenger side bulb stopped working a while back as well, replaced it and it worked fine. I'm curious to know if this is a wiring issue? I thought these would last longer.

Are they running as DRLs? Many LED bulb suppliers don't support using their bulbs for DRLs because they deteriorate from the heat and start doing weird things like that.

The only supplier I know that warrants their bulbs even for DRL use is superbrightleds. They also have an industry leading two year warranty.

Fair enough, I'll try them.

Thanks!

One more question.

Do they make a switchback LED that's fit for DRL's?

I'm not sure if they have switchback bulbs at all. I didn't see any in a quick look at their site so you might want to contact them and ask. If they sell them I have no doubt they would be DRL compatible - all of their other 3157 bulbs are.
