Ever since i change my cluster with autolumination led. It keeps on burning out or blinking. Its pissing me off. I dont wana go indigo cuz of having to have a seperate switch. So not to feel like im the only person that is having this problem, i wana find a solution to this.

I have their white 194 matrix LED, I didn't follow what others said "Don't touch the bulb"... Car on, lights on (I don't turn off lights). 6 months and still shining strong. Not quite sure why yours keep burning out.. -------------------- |

You know that with the Indiglo guages you can hook it up to automatically turn on with your lights... Like when you turn on the switch to turn your headlights on the guages come on. Thats what the guy did in my convertible.

I dont wana go indigo cuz of having to have a seperate switch. So not to feel like im the only person that is having this problem, i wana find a solution to this. 1.: common cluster bulb works with 100mA curren (more-less). LED burns with 30-35 mA -> all cluster LEDs must have some resistor inside. That resistor reduce curren to 20-25mA. So if your car circuit rise (fitfully) 10mA up, your LEDs may say bye bye... Try to measure that. 2.: do not start up engine with lights on (lights must be off during engine start up because of high curren peaks (common thing)) This post has been edited by malpaso: Apr 19, 2006 - 2:50 AM -------------------- No more replicas...

they're the right size LEDs right? You shouldn't have to do anything other than just put them in the car.
