Damn LEDs

So i think my leds on my headlights are starting to go, the driver side looks like a freaking strobe light lol. here a video...

They work correctly for small amounts of time but they mostly just flash irregularly now. So i think im just gonna cut the wires to the leds and tape them up, i don't really like the blue leds anyway, I just bought the projectors cuz i like the look of the black housing so they wont be missed. Ill eventually change the leds to amber colored ones and rewire them in

bump

Thats cool, you should wire the other side to flash too, and pull people over! jk

btw, i think its flickering because one of the LEDs is about to go, and the LEDs run in a parallel sircuit, so one goes, and they all turn off. (try unplugging just one at a time) Maybe, just a theory.

You should definitely take it up with the company if you've never used them before
