So I replaced all the lights in the cluster, and within a month of replacing them, they all burnt out.
has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do to solve it.
I looked at the fuses and they all looked to be fine and none were burnt out
I cant figure out hat could be causing it

how long did you have them turned on for? i had this problem way back when i had first started getting into leds and it turned out to be a problem with my alternator. the voltage output was not stable and was causing surges to burn out leds. while filament bulbs can handle this just fine, many lower quality leds (and even some hi quality leds) cannot handle more power than what they were designed for. its possible you have charging system issues or i guess the led bulbs could also be the cause.

no the bulbs were just regular filament bulbs not leds

Have a volt meter handy, you should take a close look at the voltage output...any other bulbs failing ??

if filament bulbs are blowing out, im almost positive your alternator is putting out too much voltage, which can cause a whole range of other issues including with the battery leaking acid everywhere. i would have the output checked asap with the car warmed up. shouldnt be higher than 14.2v

also those bulbs are very low power consumption something like 0.2w each so they should be lasting many years. the more voltage you give a filament bulb, the shorter the lifespan becomes.

thanks for the info, its at the shop now getting a new clutch and a whole slew of things repaired, i'll have that checked when it gets back

The bulbs are low wattage but, still run very hot, I had a couple different ones fail in the CC switch, my mirror bulb died and I tore apart a similar sized neo wedge and soldered the new bulb in place & I had the same bulb die that the op has out, all within about 4 years on my 05.

I you put your finger on the CC switch when on a while you can feel the heat.
