Smile LED parking lights

Had new LED parking lights installed, made in japan.

All the lights in the car and on the exterior are fine, but the parking ones have blown 4 times on me already... has anyone else had the same problem?

The guys are saying it could be heating up too much due to the area they lock the lights in?

Cheers for the info

Are you referring to the lights in the eyebrows above the headlights?
If so check out the C-Class (W204) forum. Azn C300 just did a group buy on some LEDs that we hope will not overheat and melt parts off the boards. Failure from overheating has been a problem with these LEDs in the past. He may be able to help you out.
