2015 Turn/DRL bulbs keep going out

[rickkapur]

2015 5.0. Turn/DRLs keep going out pretty much every year. I had the harnesses replaced two yrs ago, still the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks

There's several write ups on the forum on how to install LEDs that actually work. You might have to re-pin one or both wire connectors (not hard, just tedious) for them to work. My first cheap set (Pilots) lasted a year. My 2nd set (Sirius) lasted 3 years. I went back to a cheap set last week as the Sirius ones are no longer made... we'll see how long they last

I added 1 Ohm resistors in series, and have not had to replace any bulb since:

Low tech/Old school solution to DRL burning out

There is tons of discussions on how to ditch the 2357A filament lamp and use an LED instead on this forum. However, like some, I am concerned that the LED replacement still seems like a niche product, which on top of many things, require mods to prevent hyper-flashing, none which I find elegant...

LEDs are cool looking, but eventually, the amber lights will come back in fashion simply by being different.

Once you swap to LED on this car you'll never go back

I must be there one guy who went back
I previously used the no longer available Sirius bulbs. They were a great plug and play option, were nice and bright and lasted longer than the OEM incandescent bulbs, however they did fail sometime after a year or year and a half or so.

I went back to using incandescent bulbs of the long life variety but I also now turn those off manually and use the white led strip at my DRL's and then switch to auto mode to turn on the headlights during night driving. I've still had to replace 1 amber bulb in the past year, but i anticipate continued deceased frequency of doing so.

To each his own... right? If you like it, nothing wrong with it. My sirius bulbs lasted about 3 years. I've never had hyperflashing even with cheap bulbs. The intensity of the bulbs are so compelling. The sirius bulbs I had would even illuminate street signs at night with the headlights on (as you prob already know).
