I recently purchased these POS LED's, needed resistors, and i guess one of the LEDS went bad, it flickers and 3 of the 8 don't work..wow..

could it be from the resistors? or what? its an LCI

soooo annoying WOW

and its only the right side, left side works perfect, no flickering at all!!!

Typically a resistor will not cause an LED to go out, probably just a faulty bulb.
