   My number plate has been relocated to my bumper so about 3 months ago i fitted these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-NUMBER-P...ht_1762wt_1199
   
   As it had nothing lighting it up and it would had failed the mot. As to my luck my MOT is in 2-3 weeks and they have fucking died and are no longer working. And before anybody says i have checked the wiring and one is lit up very dull.
   
   Has anybody had these before and can anyone link me to a pair they have used or know that will last long as i dont want to buy them again and end up dieing on me :/
   
   Sorry for the essay lol

   remove them and stick across a battery or something. dimness usually points to low power but could just be a dodgy connector giving shedloads of resistance. the other thing is, LED's don't usually dim!
