Gen 3 LEDs going out and flickering

WTF? I've only had these for a month! Anyone know what might be causing this? Is it a common problem?

the resistor values were too low and caused them to burn out. You could add a resistor to the series, but it's probably too late for that. Replace them with lower resistor values
