Thank you for the feedback. Gives me some level of reassurance!
Fires need oxygen, fuel and heat. If puling max amps on wire, additional heat sources (engine, exhaust, ect) can cause a wire to burn without blowing the fuse. when insulation is gone and wire shorts - then fuse will blow. If this removes enough heat fire may go out.
Since you are using factory wiring it shouldn't be an issue. Something to consider when adding your own electrical system.
LED's have resistors that limit current to individual led. The heatsink housing keeps led (an electronic part) cool. Waterproof housing also limits oxygen supply. Don't think one will ever burn - just have leds fail.
DOT truck regs. require lamp replacement if over 50% of led's don't work. A 9 light LED tail light is legal as long as 5 or more individual leds work.
