Anyone else have problems with ledgauges.com cluster bulbs???? (w/Vid..)
Several months ago i got a set of Blue LED cluster bulbs from ledgauges.com They all looked GREAT..... for about a month. soon after two of the bulbs died. this week a THIRD one that was dimming also Died AND the fourth one has been Flickering like a bitch lately. ive tried just about everything possible. i bend the brass clips in to get a tighter connection, i hot glued the bulbs in so they dont wiggle, and jsut about everything else. so im just curious...... Is there anyone out there who has been having similiar problems to me? ive been talkin to ledgauges guy to get some new bulbs but its a slow process, and as much as i hate to do it, im on the verge of going to the site and just ordering another set for 35 bux just so i can see my friggin cluster at night and because when they worked they looked VERY good. any ideas?
also i put a video on youtube of the flickering bulb. you can also see in the middle of the cluster its very dim, and on the left and right the bulbs are normal color because after the other 2 died, i just put the stock ones in so i could see my gauges at night. so basically now ive got one working blue bulb.

Why does everyone want LEDs in their dashes? What's wrong with regular bulbs? You can't really dim an LED without a PWM controller...

The LED gauges look great, thats why. I just got the map/dome lights from them along with new red LED's for my doors. They will be goin in shortly. Next up is the HVAC, cluster & headlight switch.
Not sure how much he gets on here, but the owner is a regualr on tech.

the leds really shouldn't look that much different than simple colored bulbs... but whatever floats your boat... I just don't like that you can't fade your dash lights once you switch over...
