Abstract: A vehicle light system includes an LED lamp mounted to an outer body of a vehicle. The LED lamp includes a frame, a diode array having a plurality of individual diodes fixed relative to the frame, and a control unit fixed relative to the frame. The control unit controls a current flow to the diode array and measures a value indicative of the current flow to the diode array. The control unit further compares the measured value to a cut-off value, the cut-off value being a parameter that is indicative of a luminous intensity of the LED lamp. If the measured value is less than the cut-off value, the control unit cuts the current flow to the diode array such that the LED lamp is turned off.
