On the drive home, I could tell she was still unhappy, so I followed up with a full hand wash and detail when I got home. I washed her again, vacuumed all of the carpet, wiped down the interior, detailed the rims, treated the tires, and wiped down all of the thresholds. She looks so much happier now
mr.jar- good job taking care of your girl!

It's not the contact, it's the LED itself...

Same thing happened to mine and eventually they don't light up anymore...

and that was within 2 months.....
