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))
