I guess dealer just never tells the truth ? Or is there some truth to what he was saying about bright LED too hot and burns stuff .. ?

If it was a cheap LED with poor heat dissipation design, then yes, there is a potential it can get too hot and melt the housing.

Thanks for letting me know. I got all of mine from iJDM, so shouldn't be an issue right ?

iJDMToy will be fine. I bought from them before for Garax bulbs, but not LED.

For my LED's I went with JLC Lighting (forum member vendor is Auto Design).

Thanks for all your inputs!

Btw, sorry if this is a dumb question, even after I blew a fuse, all the LED that I installed previously should all still work , right? I just need new fuse and they'll light up again ?

Yes, they may share the same fuse, so look up ur manual and find out which fuse is burnned, replace it use the spare one. I believe its 10, the red color. Last time i change my parking light and the fuse got burnned I replace it within 1 min, and It works again. GL to u.

Well-designed LEDs should run relatively cool.

OMG lol this happen to me today I looked under the passenger fuse box and saw the door fuse I pulled it out (was blown)
and replaced it....Then the lights still dont come on nor does the home link work.

I didnt know there was a fuse on the driver side going to check that out maybe i blew something there as well

the connection on my leds was a little loose thats what cause the fuse to blow. now its just the matter of finding the other mystery fuse to replace .....

sucks cant see at night no more =0(

keep ya all posted
