Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - LED (v-leds) parking light bulb melted off, now headlamp goes off occasionally

I got my order from V-LEDs late last week and the interior 194 blues are fantastic. I made a mistake by getting the 7443 turnsignal bulbs which only work when your turning or emergency flash. They don't work as parking lights, there is a smaller 194 {white incadesent} that I put in for trade off on the 7443s that I bought. With the remainder I ordered some white 194s for the rear license plate. I don't know how they could melt because LEDs don't produce any heat unlike incadesents or halogen. The 370 uses a 194 for parking along with another bulb that I'm leaving only because its encased in an amber lense, oh by the way, I used "high power" on blue interior 194s, will be using the same for front parking in amber, and a "lower power" white on the back plate. I sent out my return exchange package today, I will take some pictures when done.
