I will add one more comment I forgot last post....
SOME LED assembles try to get more light out of a too dim LED, they do this by increasing the current or, if it's a "resistor LED" type assembly (non regulated) cutting the value of the resistor.
HOW bad does this get?
Well, this is an OEM led, not a replacement.. The series resistor was 150 ohms by measurement... By calculation it should have been 450 Ohms (It is,, now)
The replacement LED has lasted many years
