Quick question on LED's.

One of my LED DRL's does not illuminate on the front part/tip of the bulb, but everything illuminates around the bulb.

Do LED's usually crap out all together, or could I have a bad bulb by just the front of the bulb not working?

Maybe not properly connected?

Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.


THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Leds can crap out one at a time. Most led bulbs are pretty fragile being that they are held together by tabs and solder. I have ruined a couple 194 leds by trying to pull them out of the sockets. Always try to install/remove by the base. If the other part is lit, connection is not an issue.

Many thanks Chauncey. Guess I am getting a new LED Bulb.
