So after one side of my gauge had no lights I went and replaced them with blue LED's (these ones http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID...p;form=KEYWORD). They worked fine for a while but now the middle and right one are flickering which is really annoying and distracting tonight. Does anyone know why this might be happening I would be very thankful

I find that cheap chinese LEDs usually only fail due to poor soldering on my part. You can't apply heat to the leads for very long or it damages the semiconductor inside
