I'll pull it and check it now and then and let anyone know if I find any problems, better safe than sorry... if these things melt peoples back light housings, this company is sure going to be libel and going out of business soon... you'd think a company with so many other electrical products & engineers on staff would use them on their own cars and have picked up on this before releasing it Eh?
