Mirror Lights keep dying

Hi All,


In the last 15k miles, I've replaced the led lights on my driver side mirror twice already, and come to see this morning: they are out again.


The turn signal LEDs still work, but the parking lights don't work anymore.
Passenger side is fine.


I've used the 'cheap' $70 or so replacement parts off ebay so far, does anyone have similar experiences or experiences this behavior before?


Chris

Check for a bad ground.

Are the LED's themselves failing, or is it a wiring or plug issue?

I checked last night and found both ground and power supply to the plug in the mirror are good and working.
When I took apart the LED light I found a broken soldering-spot after the resistor.


Too bad I already threw away the old light I took out a few months ago. The LEDs themselves were fine.
