King's MK4 Coyote Build

[2bking]

I wanted backup light(s) and considered a lot of places to mount them and the type of fixture. I decided on the super bright LEDs and clustered them in the rear lights.

They worked very well and then a couple of days ago only one of the four would light. Upon inspection three had burn spots like the right one in this picture.

The fourth one quit a day later so I'm not sure what caused the failure. The specs say they are for 12 -14.5 V and I tested one to 20 V where it quit but a burn spot didn't appear like the others. They are all replaced now so time will tell if the same fate awaits these. On the way to the store to get the wiring supplies I got this hit on my windshield from a gravel truck coming toward me.

I'll have to get another windshield soon.
