Diode Dynamics Smoked Side Markers.. Problems?

I've had my smoked LED DD side markers for about a month or less and I noticed on my way to work today that my passenger side rear side-marker is very dim compared to the other 3. It's so dim, in-fact, that you wouldn't know it was on unless you stood there and locked the car and unlocked it to turn it off and on.

I have already sent an email to the vendor to get it replaced but just wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Clark

Mine didn't go dim half of them just quit working all together. One on the driver side and one on the passengers side but diode was fast in responding and replacing them.

I've had them for almost a year and no problems here. I would check to make sure the connection is tight and clean. Hopefully they will get your issue resolved quickly!

Yeah the bottom 1/4 that is dim is what mine is doing, but instead of just the bottom part its the whole thing is dim.

Yep yours is the 3rd set I've seen like this including mine. I'm not sure if they just had a bad batch of them or what but they were easy to contact and get replacements.

I also had an issue with one of my batch being dimmer than the rest. They replaced no problem. First two pics are opposite sides of the same batch taken at the same time in the same ambient lighting, second two are the before and after of the same sidemarker.

I wouldn't let this stop you. DD still has way fewer failures than any of the other ones available.
