LED side marker issue....
so i purchased on ebay these led side markers for about 50$.... had them installed at a local shop cuz i didnt have a small enough screwdriver or one to bend in the tight space...paid 20$...nothing crazy.... all i know is they dont seem to be working properly...went back to shop and had them taken out and checked individually and each one works....then check the power comeing from the sidemarker light....also fine...so i knew it wasnt a fuse or anything...anyone know what it could be...plus today i went and turned on the car and i saw it go on and off like 3xs....its bugging me out...initially i thought it was a connection problem but the more i assume the more im just going nutz!!

I guess they are LED's.. If so, those LED's do not require the same amount of energy as the previous bulb did, causing the ECU to confuse and try to restart the bulb by turning it off and on.
My suggestion?
Return it for a full refund and let the seller know it is not compatible with your car.
