Duffman Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Some of the LED's on my brake strip light have stopped working...is it more likely to be a loose connection than they need replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Some of the LED's on my brake strip light have stopped working...is it more likely to be a loose connection than they need replaced? dry solder joints - you can take them appart and resolder them...

Take the light off the car, IIRC you'll need a heat gun, or an oven to split the light, then you can resolder the joints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisbeast Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I've just re-soldered mine but I have 4 leds that still do not work, where is the best place to buy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I'm in the same boat as you. 4 LED's intermittantly don't work. But, I'm going to try and sweet talk Heckler into giving me a hand repairing them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
