    Yah, be careful not to touch the bulb. When they get hot, our oily fingers seem to make the bulb pop sooner than expected.

    I had some LEDs that went out after a month or two, too. Put the stock 194s back in, noticed how much brighter they really are, and haven't ordered any replacement LEDs since then (10 months ago).

    LED lights are pretty cool-running, too. They don't get anywhere near hot enough to have problems with skin oils.

    oh, its weird then, cuz i dont understand still how both went out. if one did, thats not a problem but two is a big coincidence. i just put another pair of leds in. i bought them from brightleds.com or something like that. not bad for 1.94 a piece i guess. if it goes out again, prob just find some regular 194 bulbs.
