So, I was going through and replacing some old incandescents on my TSPP out with LEDs, and all of a sudden I noticed that the incandescents used to light up the simpson's family heads, and the car headlights were brighter than normal. I kinda did a double-take and looked closer, but thought maybe I was just imagining things. So I continued on with the work. But, once I got to those lights to start swapping them out, I found that they were quite hot to the touch. I went ahead and pulled all the old bulbs and put in the LEDs. I finished up all the other lights I wanted to swap and went back and checked on those LEDs, they were running considerably hotter than all the others I had swapped in. :/

So, anyone have any idea what happened? Do I need to start checking the related transistors?

thanks in advance

Thanks I'll check voltage later today when I get a second away from work.

I did an initial check on the wires, but I'll look more closely to see if something is out of place
