The LED lights are complete electronic circuits. These PCBs suffer from large temperature diffrences. In the headlights, mine survived for 3 months. My plate lights are still perfectly fine, now more then 6 months. I think the heat of the headlights is fatal for the LED circuits... Resoldering the L...

I replaced my plate lights for LEDs.
This was a 5 min job :O.
(Used a screwdriver to pop the lenses out)

Did they got stuck or sticky maybe?

I did some more research and I found some flabbergasting devices :o Magnets for your fuel line to swirl your (non magnetic) fuel. :mrgreen: But also special fans for the air intake. The fans would make the air go like a tornado and therefor the fuel/air mix would be better. :thumbs: In reality you w...

Few days ago I saw a capacitor for sale. Not the chunky ones used for high-end amplifiers but a smaller one to plug in your cigarette lighter.
