Exclamation O ****

Last night i noticed my LED city light was out. I know its not burnt out but just loose because i cant twist it in. Thats how my last one broke. Well i try to anyways this time and had no luck. I basically did the same thing and turned on the lights and it was on. So i start turning it again and i hear a pop sound. Then all of a sudden there is smoke coming from the car and its not from the LED. And quickly turned the lights off then turned them back on to see if the HIDs blew. That wasnt the case either.

WHAT HAPPENED!?!

Do you have a resistor or load equalizer installed? If so, what is the resistance in ohms? This happened to me the other day when trying to install a 3 ohm resistor (incorrect resistance).

No i have neither. The wierd thing is everything is working fine. The lights including city, fog, and HIDs turn on and off.
