Help Please - LED bulbs for park lights, how do I get them to stop flickering?
I bought a set of SMD LED bulbs for my park lights. The flash twice, then go off and flash intermittently every 5 seconds.

I'm guessing it has something to do with all the sensors in our ECUs.

What can I do about it? I've seen many other members with LED bulbs that function correctly...

Thanks in advance

Did you get error free / canbus LED?

Regular LED wont work on our cars. At least the exterior ones. You need wired resistors or build in ones for them to stay ON normal
