Weirdness from my LED Running Lights

About 6 months ago I replaced my running lights with the multi LED units and a digital flasher.
They worked real nice; running orange during day and white at night with lights on.
The flasher went from white to orange during blinking which was very cool.
Now, I have no running lights at all but, they work and are white with headlights on.
Checked the fuse, it looks fine.
What gives.

Check the connections, the metal tabs on the socket and the metal wire on the bulb. Also look for discoloring.

Both are doing this?

They work how they're suppose to when the headlights are on?

i've heard of other folks having problems w/ LED lights (i assume you're talking DRLs?)... basically these aren't rugged enough for DRL, 100% duty cycle, ..soldering contacts weaken w/ heating cycles..
