footwell LED's read if you have them
for once I got a question. A while back I changed most my interior bulbs to blue LEDs, a few white. I have sum of AZNs LEDs in white, and they flash on and off w the kickdown dimming of the footwell lights. I got sum ijdmtoy ones too and they do the same. I ended up throwing in autozone blue bulbs which are OK, but they cant barely be seen when they dim, only on opening the door for a few seconds. Anyone on here had any success w LEDs that dont flash off or blink? if so where did u get them from. I do know this is common prob w dimming on LEDs.......thanks

I have the same issue but mine only blink for the first minute or two or when I start up the AC and have it coming from the footwells too. Regardless, it still only blinks for about the first minute or two.

They flash on and off as they're moving to low current dim mode? Hmm, doesn't do that for me. Snarling, next time I see you, I want to take a look. It doesn't do that on my C class.

thats what mine do too Mike. I got a bunch of the white ones from you last year w the resistors on them and they work everywhere in the car except the footwells. I ended up using them everywhere, trunk, doors, wherever there was T10 spot. I have a blue LED festoon in rear courtesy but left the side pushers white and Blue in the front courtesy but all the rest are AZN leds. both ijdm's and yours blink/flash during the powerup and kickdown mode in the footwells only then they stay on. weird yours dont do that, WTF haha
another weird thing is they dont do it in the front courtesy when I had them there originally and the blue ijdm's dont do it there either, and that spot dims too, but the same LEDS do it in the footwells........

The footwells and the trunk are rediculous. It makes no since why they wont work. It sucks, MErcedes is stingy as FUc* with warranty ****. I am having a wierd Subwoofer and dead battery issue and they are saying that they will not cover warranty on their parts cuz of the aftermarket Lights I have installed. They say that that is the issue. F that

Sorry to bump this thread up. But i replaced my trunk, and glove compartment with non canbus LEDs without any issues. But when i tried replacing the footwell bulbs with LED bulbs they started to flicker/blink just as mentioned before.
Anyone managed to find a solution?
