LEDs and heat - Toyota Yaris Forums

Howdy folks,

I did a brief search on the forum for this but didn't find what I was looking for. Granted, I didn't spend tons of time all of the posts from each thread but I did put forth minimal effort.

:)

Are there any issues with changing the interior light bulbs for LED lights and excessive heat?

The reason I'm asking is that I see warning labels on home LED lights that warn about heat and some of the LED lights have small fans or cooling fins built in. Is this just because those LEDs have to put out 100w of light?

Does an automotive LED have this issue since it's 5w or less?

What about the HID kits? Are there heat issues with them?

Thanks,

S.R.
