Humm, do you have them running when your fogs are on? I would imagine the heat would be rather detrimental to the health of those LEDs, especially if you have HID fogs.

i ran them LEDs all the time since my AE are not bright as the newer models. But no, they are all right, no heat from the fogs at all. Those leds themselves are designed to tolerate the heat, rain, and snow of course. No worries !

How weird, lol, at one point in the video ~15 sec, it looked like your angel eyes are white!
