Does anyone have the strobe light effect going on? I had the 5-led in the clear corners and the 9-led in the doors, and one of each is doing a strobe-light effect. I also had 12-led for the license plate, and again one of them was doing that. Any suggestions? BTW, the 12-led for the plates looked really nice

Also, i have the 9-led in the dome, and when they're in all the way, they don't work. it seems like its not making enough contact, even though its in there pretty snug. Any suuggestions on that too?

Thanks guys

the leds are polarized. make sure you have the right end in the right contact.

i know for sure its in the right way cause it wouldn't work at all if it were put in wrong. and for a while it was working fine. it just gradually started to happen. i noticed it start after i installed my system. Would that have any effect on it?

act. thats not true. these bulbs are known for 'strobing' if placed in area's w/ alot of heat IE headlights. I have treid about 30 bulbs and they all have had the same end result. STROBATHON!! just ask some other members....

Thanks for the info guys. Actually, one of the 'strobing' ones is in the door. not sure where the heat is coming from, esp since the other door light works fine. might have to switch to bulbs instead.

They're pretty damn bright . . .
So now that you've had these for a couple months are you still happy? are they all still working? would it be too much trouble to put a stock light in one side of your dome lights and take a picture so we can see the difference from stock?

glad to hear your happy wit 'em... so when you shut your door the domes still stay on for few minutes? also, is it possible to plug in a stock bulb to one of the domes and take a picture (1 dome upgraded led, other dome stock)

no actually the door leds and the license plate leds dont do that

the only ones that stay on are the dome's - its really really dim but they stay on for maybe 5 to 10 mins

yeah ill take some comparsion shots.
