So one of the running/brake lights in the tail hatch of my 2002 Sienna burnt out so obviously I had to get in there to replace it. A minor annoyance dealing with the trim as opposed to the more outer set of lights. Also for some time now the red of the red lens has been fading a little bit and the light was starting to drift a little more toward a pink hue as opposed to real red.
So while I was at the auto parts store getting a replacement bulb I noticed RED 7443 LEDs. Also some nice white 921s for the backup lights. So now they are all on board in all my rear running/brake and backup lights.
However, as you have probably already guessed from the title, I did not wire in voltage reducer.
The reason I did not do that is because I did not think about it until after the fact.
I had previously, for over three years now, been running LED turn signal lights in the rear and I knew something had to be wired in if I also wanted to run them simultaneously in the front. So I just stuck to the rear for those. But something regarding that and the wiring popped into my head with this job, but not until after I had it completed and all put back together.
So, did I screw up and if so what is the likely result?
I mean do the LED bulbs just get too much juice and eventually burn out much quicker or is there the possibility of any damage to my electrical system in general or just what?
Thanks in advance.
