Sounds like you got a set of bad diodes. Just order new ones and be happy...unless you like the dull light. More chips arent necessarily the answer. One LED can put out a giant amount of light at low draw(the whole point of using them), but cheap ones are just junk. Its like going from 80s LEDs to the jumbo screens of today.

Im waiting for someone to ask for a footcandle measurement....ha!

there are 5 lights behind the dash and 2 additional ones for your directionals. i bought leds from here http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ini-wedge.html its the first ones when you scroll down and its WLEDx6. with that i also got the sockets if you scroll all the way down they are the twist and lock ones. i bought blue lights cause i was tired of the green but they look good and were fairly cheap

another good site for bulbs is autolumination.com

Ordered my led dome lights and third brake light from there. Super cheap and quick shipping.
