I think the reason they went out is because they are on when the HIDs are on and the heat that HIDs generate. I plan to add this circuit to extinguish the LEDs during the time when the HIDs are enabled. This might prolong the life of those LEDs.....



Used a Radio Shack 12V SPDT mini relay and it fit neatly and easily in the Fuse Box :-)

Installed the "36 count" LEDs today. We'll see how long they will last.
