led drl issues
I got some cool blue led drl error free bulbs, and on the front right i have an issue where it comes on for a few seconds, then kicks on, then back on, then off, and I switched the bulbs from one side to the other and it seams to be same side that is having the issues, this happen to anyone else? I have a bad set of LED's? I put back in the regular old bulbs and have no issues, I don't understand what the deal could be unless I got a bad set, I tried wiggling the wires in the housing just a bit and it didn't seam to have any affect on the light production.

Nemesis, I have the exact same problem.
I drive an SL500, 2003. Left side is fine, right side flickers.
No idea how to fix it though.. Instead, I just ordered some of the original glass W5W wedge bulbs in blue glass...
Not as good, but better than nothing!
