I bought it from a sponsor here but i forgot who it was Need help here My Dash lite up saying i had a broken bulb so i inspect it and it turned out to be this. Luckly i had a pair for backups. Had these on since the spring time and i do not drive the car a lot then this happened.

looks like a azn LED?

jimmythegreek

yeah thats mikes LEDs. Looks like it got hot and the resistor burnt off the solder points. Send him a PM he will likely hook u up w new one(s). hes a stand up guy...........

AZNC300 is his screen name I beleive......

Mine just burned out too. Im getting it inspected as we speak so I hope that doesnt keep it from passing haha.

I'm guessing you stuck it in all the way. Mine have lasted over a year now I with maybe only 1 or so needing replacement due to slight color shift. Since that issue I inspected almost all of my LEDs to make sure they weren't in all the way. But yeah, send him a PM. Or if I do end up swinging by Cerritos tonight, I'll give him the heads up.

Mine def weren't pushed in all the way I was extra careful installing. Its only one though, the other three are still kickin.

Spec_Davis

thank you guys i will PM him about this. all the other 3 are working fine.

Tell tale sign of over insertion... bottom two resistors closest to voltage plate is held in place while second resistor separates. If anything, it should be the first set of resistors taking the brunt, but because they were physically held in place with the clip on top of it, they stay put. You actually have relatively light burn off marks. That LED is actually salvageable with just some soldering work of the resistor back on.

Shoot an email to aznoptics@gmail.com so I can process a claim though. I'll take care of you.

Thanks mike I will def shoot you an email

Always will be flaws on any product regardless how good is it made, I barely hear complains about AZN’s

Maybe you can put those little plastic protectors on the bottom of the LED like these:

That's an interesting idea..

AZN Optics

Yeah, I've already done that and works good. Only issue is it extends the length of the LED so that they no longer would fit in the sidemarkers and rear plates. So for me to add that feature in and steamline my manufacturing by not having multiple designs, I'd have to go back and redesign the LED to shorten it.

As we continue to improve our product, this is something that I'm looking at though, but will take time as it's not just as simple as adding caps.

Does anyone know what would cause LED bulbs to keep burning out? I purchased LED Canbus license plate and driving light bulbs for both my 2005 E500 and 2008 ML350 and after 1 month they start to flicker and eventually one by one start to burn out. I purchased the bulbs from www.discountleds.com
