makes me want to get these just to use and abuse on my rear bumper, then get new if ever needed at a fraction of the price lol but for hood mounts i still gotta go with WSI and their whelens...
I promise you can't break these haha. I messed one up by hooking it straight to the battery to test it the first day I got them. 3/6 LEDs went out. But I tortured that damn like and couldn't break it. I threw it, hit it with a hammer, drug it behind my truck, everything. I just couldn't get the 3 other LEDs to go out...
What are you saying... are you saying that 3 of the 6 LEDs burned out because you connected them directly to the battery? You should be able to connect them directly to the battery w/o any fuse or relay. Volts are volts and current/amps flow based on the demand of the device. If 3 of the 6 LEDs burned out, it had nothing to do with the fact that you connected them directly to the battery... it was just a defective light.
Maybe, I'm confused, but I'm getting the idea that you're thinking that connecting them directly to the battery is a bad thing. For the protection of the device, you want to use a fuse and for ease of installation and running smaller gauge wires you want to use a relay, but these two components have nothing to do with limiting the power being sent to a properly functioning electrical component/light and are by no means "required."
