This happened to me only once, and it was because the connection to the resistor burnt out. Where did you get yours from?

No you'll have to buy new LEDs. The resistor connection is on the LED itself. You might want to check out AZN Optics LEDs instead: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ront-w204.html

These are the ones I use and haven't had much of an issue. AZN also has great customer service.

I had the same thing happen to me with AZN's LED's on one bulb and was told it may be due to some voltage fluctuations. If it happens again, maybe have that looked into. AZN's LED's are good imho.

Mike from AZN is excellent with customer service and explains things really well. I have bought about 12 bulbs from him now and not had any other issues than the fluke with the eyelid and that may have been something that just happens with some cars and not the fault of the bulb. Good luck!

Just got the azn bulbs in but the passenger side still doesn't come on. The shop is checking to see what may be the cause of it. Hopefully it's nothing serious

Did you try putting in the stock bulbs to see if it's an issue with the car or the LED?

Deng I didn't try that. Well they got it to work he said for some reason that side kept getting hot. He said he had to crip it our something like that but he thinks it will be fine. Guess well see. If not I'll try the stock bulbs. Do they have regular bulbs instead of LEDs out in a bluish color??

I hope it works out for you. The only non-LEDs I've seen are ones by PIAA. I think they're called Xtreme White. They are blue in color but I think are closer to 5000/6000k so they will only have a slight blue tint to them. Not sure what you're running now.
