    Smile Front Map Light, Burnt out wiring

    Hi guys, the other day I noticed that one of my front map lights wasn't working. Then the next day on the other LED bulbs some of the little yellow LEDs weren't working. So I took out the map light to take a look at it, and I noticed the little wiring bits connecting inside had burnt right out. Would anyone know why that is ?
    Could some one possibly post a pic showing me which ones to solder back together because i tried to solder some of them and when i connected it back to check if it was working, i blew a fuse.

    Thanks in advance

    leds are fairly cheap on ebay, i suggest you pick up some new ones as opposed to trying to fix the leds.

    the leds are usually not the best quality and soldered haphazardly, it might just have burnt out over to time.
