2000 Box S with Litronics.

I had previously replaced my parking lights with LEDs, which matched my litronics nicely.

Went to swap out the fogs with H7 LEDs. Swapped with no problem but after swap, noticed that the pass. side parking light was out. I pulled assembly out to check the bulb and found that the insulation on mutiple wires was dried, cracked and missing! No wiring looked burned, just looked like the insulation had dried out and cracked away.

Anyone ever have this happen? I haven't pulled the drivers side to take a look...kind of want to leave it alone! Will post pics.
