what would be the cause of LED lights burning out on a car dash?

age/ fuse/ defect

Would less than two years be considered old - or enough time for a fuse to blow. Could it be an electrical problem too?

are you sure they are leds?

The life expectancy of the average led is well above 10yrs as long as they are installed properly/used in an apropriately designed circut.

A huh, which car is this?

LED in the dash? Doesn't make sense, because that would blind you !! Its more likely some coloured translucent panel with light in the back.

Car Model pls.

they usually dont have LED for the dash. LEDs also last for a long time. What car do you have?

If they are LED, your car is pretty new, go back for warranty....

it's usually, mostly, incandecent(sp?) bulbs.....
however, i do have after market LEDs in my dash, map, dome...
i find that, incandecents have a much better spread output,
but LEDs brings out a nicer and richer colour....

Its a Mazda 3 - my dealer told me they're LED lights - I'm going in to get them looked at on Monday.
