Take Care,

Our babies bleed voltage which causes the LED to glow during the day when light are not used.

The bleeding will also burn out the LEDs much sooner.

Placing a equalizer will cure this issue but will defeat the low consumption of the LED's

Just my experience.

I ordered mine from [U]www.mouser.com, Prior to finding out about Superbrightleds.com. Just using mine for the heater control which seems to need some cooler running lights!

Thank you.

Well, it is a ceramic device that absorbs the excess voltage emitted by our car's system. I think it is called a Resistor officially.

It gets extremely hot to the touch.
