LED Sidelights flickering??

[AdamWhy]

i have had 2 sets of LED side lights now, and every now and again they decide to strobe and flicker, any ideas??

they are fucked... basically...
waste of time and money those LED sidelights, i've been through a couple of sets but i dont bother now... just use normal bulbs, they last longer... and you can get them blue ones that light up white anyway...

agree with tynan, i bought i set of these led side lights and they seemed ok, then one side just decided to go pop.

spose to last longer they say, rubbish.

stick with standard side lights mate.

no what it is, the side light and the headlight are so close together the headlight gets so hot it shorts the leds out. im on my 4th set. what a waste of money but look great.

this becasue you havnt put a resister before the led. the power going to the leds is a tiny bit too high for the leds and it blows them. becasue there wired in series when one buld goes it affects the others, hence the reason why it flashes.

i dont know which resistor you need to stop them blowing and tbh i dont really see the point in finding out and then fcuking around trying to wire it up.
