LED dome light issues
Hi. I tried replacing all my dome lights with blue LEDs, but they only work for about 5min then all the lighting cuts out. The only way to get them back on is to pull the UCM fuse for a few minutes. I put all the regular bulbs back in, but I really preferred the blue lights. Is there anything I can do?

RE: LED dome light issues
I just received and tried out my new LEDs. So far the new dome lights appear to work fine. I could clearly see a 620 ohm resistor in the new ones, whereas the old ones had two 39 ohm resistors in series. I'm not sure if that made the difference since the incandescent lights only provide 2.5 ohms of resistance. I also tried two LED position lights; they worked fine, but I had the "position light failure" message the whole time. I might try getting those to work after the holidays...

I got them from www.superbrightleds.com . I have only replaced the two front dome lights. If I don't have any problems with them I will change all the interior lights to blue, except for the two front reading lights. I want to get the "cool" white LEDs for those.

Well... they worked for about a day. I had to pull the UCM fuse to get the OEM lights to work again. I think it will be too much of a hassle to get the LEDs to work, so I will look around for colored incandescent bulbs. Attached are some photos of the lights before they stopped working.
