I'll have to check the bulbs for watts. I have 12v bulbs. Then again its only the right side that does this.

I'd love it if they made LED replacements. I just had to order both sides at just over $130 a piece because both housings were melted and warped the contact circuit. I figured the lights were getting too hot. I didn't know it was a design flaw.

You know there are used parts vendors on this and other boards, right?

I've replaced every bulb on the Disco with LEDs from superbrightleds.com. They work great and look good.

Who's "all"? So far there's you and Dragonhead. So I would say the probability of you and him having faults and everybody else not having faults is pretty good.

Both of my License Plate LED's have gone out. Disappointing really because I thought those looked the coolest. Also my City light LED's have gone out. It seems some LED's are better suited to interior use only.
