I thought about that, and there really isn't anything to be done unless I install them in front of the plates, but as these are bi-xenon a actuator is there for the flap.. And I couldn't get a even light displacement in front.. I'll do this untill they go out then replace with a different color or epoxy the hole up and try somewhere else
Just to clear things up, heat is a LEDs enemy, I have pretty standard bulbs, when these fail, I'll most likely get a pair of HPLEDs.. The high powered led "chips" can sustain up to 120*c or about 248*f those would be more suited for this, I can find them on eBay and I'm sure through lumileds or osram. Typically a hid bulb runs in the high 180-190 range, but have seen people report up to 300*.. Either way, HPLEDS are the way to go
