Okay, thanks for info, hopefully mine maintain for awhile. I assumed that the LED's were failing prematurely. I seem to notice more and more newer Audi's with a LED headlight assemblies blacked out, sort of looks like a winking vehicle coming at you.

None of my leds had any moisture in them but half the lights stopped working. This has happened on both turn signals and one puddle light. In all 3 cases exactly half the lights stopped working.

Picked up the truck and found out why they are replacing the mirror. They cracked it trying to take out the glass.
