Tri Cities, WA | Hmm there is some thing wrong then with yours. I have had mine and know many other vision owners like myself who had our visions since 2008 and our side lighted badges are still running strong. I would have your local mechanic look at it. |

San Antonio, TX | The only time one mine went out was when the dealers mechanic forgot to plug it in after doing some work on it. Almost three and a half years and over 27,000 miles later they still light up every time.
I would hope to think that you did not end up with a bad pair.

| There LED lights that should burn for a good 1000 hours. You must have blown a fuse or did something you shouldn't have. |

New Orleans, La, | My VV is an 08 with nearly 50K and both badges light every time even after leaving the ignition on accessory till the batery discharged nearly completely at least 3 times. I don't recommend you try this at home, or anywhere else, but they have never fialed, sure can't say the same for the radio. |

The horn is on the same circuit. Check to see if it still works. |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | Check the connectors, when something electrical was working and now suddenly isn't 99% of the time it's a loose plug or connection, or you somehow got it wet and it's not getting current.
They are LEDS and draw microamps of power, they are like a 13 year old boy, it doesn't take much to get them excited
