Hey forum dwellers,

Slight wall of text inbound.

I'm curious if anyone has had issues running Diode Dynamics XP80 LED DRL's. I had a pair in my 2016 FRS for a bout 6 months until they both burned out within about a week of each other. I got both of them exchanged and have been running the new pair for about a month. Yesterday, I found that yet again my left LED has stopped emitting. Swapped bulbs and the issue follows the bulb.

Upon inspection, the dysfunctional bulb has a very slight discoloration and definitely smells like it's over its temp range. I'm honestly a little perplexed as to why this might be happening. It appears that they're being overdriven but I can't be sure. I can upload some pics later today if anyone thinks it might help. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

PS - I'm not knocking DD products at all. I have a few other of their units and they perform flawlessly. Also, their customer service is second to none.
