I wonder if there is too much power going to them. Any other light trouble or 12V trouble?
Did you try to meter the sockets to check power?
In electrical circuits power gets pulled by the load, not pushed by the source. The LEDS will only draw whatever power they're designed for, unless there is a problem in them.
Maybe you're intending to reference the voltage supplied to them: if they are sold for automotive purposes then they SHOULD be designed to handle any voltage normally found in automotive electrical circuits. If they are sold for household use they will have internal circuitry to drop the 120VAC supply to whatever DC voltage they use - but again they'll only draw whatever power is required for that conversion.
