Just put in one LED for the front DRL/Turn signal bulb on passenger side of my 08 SR5 with DRL’s, got a pair for both sides. It is a single action LED (single filiment bulb) which also is the turn signal. This thing is crazy hot, got over 370* in less than 10 minutes. After about 20 minutes we’re over 400*.
Is this normal? Is this ok to use for a DRL to where it’s always on? Or are they only to be used on flashers to where the lights are intermittent?
I don’t want to start a fire or anything. I can’t imagine how hot it’s going to get after being on for a couple hours in the AZ heat. I didn’t see much at all about the heat for these things. Is this kind of heat normal? Are people just mourning them to the metal somewhere and not worrying about it? The wires for the bulbs and the resistor were only like 78* which was the same as everything else, just the resistor was crazy hot. Never heard that part about it researching previously.
