NC23 blowing T5 LED's

Post by willpisme » Thu Sep 20, 2012 8:58 am

Hi,

My NC23 is blowing T5 LED's (as sidelights and dash lights) after 5 mins journey. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found a solution?

Cheers

They are 12vDC rated I suppose? You have to be careful of eBay Chinese ones as they are sometimes only 5v rated :down:
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
