oh, "the leds". I recalled another thread similar to this from the past now, but don't recall how it was handled... might have been the replacement thread. I do not have anything definative to add for dim led.
I'm guessing the cause of the leds going 100% bad here is coil activation related spikes. I'd likely try a tvs to stop it. A preventative fix with no proof of it's success ever; but wouldn't hurt to try.
In my trades, I was replacing an led of one kind or another weekly out of about 50- 500 total. The life expectancy of an led is based on a prefect scenereo. Issues lead to more issues; led being taken out by a less than prefect situation is far more likely than the situation remaining perfect enough to reach max life expectancy. Because I've replaced so many, I still like bulbs best for the simplistic nature... and the type of light emmited when it is for illumination of our surroundings.
