Raptor light burn outs

Curious to see if others are having this issue.

I have the white led raptor lights and harness from running4tacos

In the last two months, I am now on my 3rd set of these lights (not harness. Just lights). I’ve had one of two things happen. I bought the set of 4 but only run 3. So now a total of 12 lights have been in my possession.

2 of the lights just completely stopped working. And now 4 of them have had a burnout only on one side of a light. Below is a photo as one of them just started doing it today and this set is only 3 weeks old. Anyone else have these issues?

R4T has always offered and sent out replacements so this is not to be negative towards him or the business at all. Just curious as to if anyone else has experienced this. I haven’t heard of anyone else having this problem in the amber lights and only a couple in the white.

 

I don’t wanna state the obvious but you should just take the L and buy them from somewhere else. Your seller is getting them from a bad manufacturer

 

Cheap junk from China

 

They have been highly rated so that’s why I started with them. Who’s selling higher quality lights?

 

I had a similar experience with the Yota Leds. Within 2 weeks 2 of the 3 had condensation in them and went super dim. I emailed them with photos and they responded saying they would send out a second set. That was 3 months ago. I just took them off. Seems most of these options are trash.

 

I bought mine on Ebay for $30 but the seller no longer sells them.

7k miles and 5 months without issues.

 

It’s do to moisture in the light unfortunately they all buy from the same shit manufacturer.

 

Yea I’m coming to think it’s the bad sealing that’s causing the issues. I wish @MESO would make some raptor lights. You know we’d never have issues with those.

 

I had the exact same issue with runnin4tacos white grille lights. They’re great and sent me a new set. Well a few months later and the same thing happens. A few of them burn out on one side. I agree they’re probably cheapies from China so I bought a kit from Yota. The quality is impressive and looks much stronger. We’ll see how long they last this time. I’m feeling confident.

 

Get another replacement and seal em up yourself.

 

Yea that’s what I plan to do. I prefers some flex seal clear shot tube to seal them up before swapping the lights out

 

I have had mine for about 2 months, no issues.

Installed in March 19. I never do automatic car washes- can’t with my roof rack and fly rod holder... lenses fell out of all 3 and 2 are super dimmed. Sent an email today to YotaLeds... hopefully they offer some help here.

 

Same issues I had , they sent replacement ones then the same thing happened. Took them off and tossed.

 

Are they wired in series?

 

Sealed mine up with e-grade silicone before installing. No problems so far.

 

@dlovell90
Was a question for op. That would burn them out faster.

 

Been rocking runnin4taco amber lights for a good 17k miles no problem.

Maybe just unlucky

 

Because "raptor" lights on a Tacoma.
