someone may have changed them over to xenon headlight its a plug and play check the plug for any damage connection those xenon headlight draw 2 many wattage if so just go back to the regular bulbs which are cheaper

If you are to try and keep the leds make sure you have good ground connections, clean them up and see what happens...Also should check engine & battery grounds also the ground that runs to the body.
