    M1009 LED Problems

    It's not the lens that melts, it's the LED emitters that get dimmer and dimmer - premature failure due to heat, not to mention rapid dimming when in use. Increased heat = increased resistance = higher current draw and you have a cascade failure. Modern LED bulbs also thermal throttle, but they...

    M1009 LED Problems

    I'm just saying there are better options out there. Out of 1-10, worst to best, you chose #2 or #3.

    M1009 LED Problems

    Resistor based vs PWM voltage regulated. It's greek, I know.. I also linked headlights in that post... Skip the H4 housings and LED bulbs and go with LED projectors like I listed.... ;)

    M1009 LED Problems

    Yeah, that was 2016, and that is pretty much junk now.. The issue with some LEDs is their construction, only using resistors instead of a voltage regulation circuit (usually PWM). The other half of the issue is the wiring in the CUCVs and similar chevy trucks of that year range. They don't...

    M1009 LED Problems

    It's not 6v, it is 12v, it uses the high side as a path to ground through the front park/turn bulb. So, when the parking lights are on, it's solid. When the turn signal and parking lights are on, the side alternates. Essentially, it's not wired to ground and park, it's wired across the parking...
