This all got started after my 15k maintenance service; my car never felt the same no more.... shortly after that, my right headlight bulb (low beam) died, and my right side LED (the stripe, not side marker) died too.

I have aftermarket HID (X-TEK) and LED (no brand) for the side stripe for almost a year only. I understand fully that aftermarket is not so reliable. But shortly after these two lights died, my gf told me that my spolier LEDs (OEM) only have 3 of them lighted up, and the rest all died.

Such a coincidenced to have so many lights died on me in such short period of time.... so I went back to the shop replacing the burnt HID bulb (according to the shop owner, the bulb was burnt). He honored my warranty and gave me another one.

It's only been less than two weeks and tonight my left HID bulb died on me. This is getting really frustrating to see all my lights dying on me one by one..

Am I just being paranoid that it is just coincidence that all lights died on me? Or dealor somehow f**ked up my eletrical circuit and cause some sort of eletrical over stress / eletrical spike / power surge (Is that even possible on cars????) OR, the auto turn-on switch actually kills my bulb life?

Does anyone have any similar experience? It is good to get some feedback.... Thanks.

 

You need to be specific on what other mods you've done to your car that could have impacted your electrical system. Stereo? Video?

At a glance it seems very coincidental to me..

 

Maybe the alternator is pumping out too much voltage. Damn LED's are sensitive and won't tolerate that.

 

The LEDs are fuse protected. When some lights go out, it means you may have simply burnt a fuse. I don't know if this is true for headlight bulbs though.

 

no mod yet... that is what bothers me the most...I took good care of my car and I dont really abuse it... and still mysterious problems come to me...

I am going to have another dealorship checked out... C*sta M*sa dealorship service just sux too much that I lost my confidnce in them...

thanks for the feedback though

 

tinuni-nuni-nuni-nuni... enter the twilight zone...

 

Man was that a badazz show or what!

 

That sounds really weird, I would be pretty pieced too. Hope you get this fixed and tell us what the problem was.

 

you are getting too high of a voltage. the leds are built with a fixed resistor to compensate. they are very sensitive. take it to the dealer and have it fixed because it is broken.

 

I am making an appointment with dealorship.. will keep you guys updated...
