Hi,
I installed LED dashlights about 2 yrs ago and they were great. About 2 months ago, 1 of the lights started flickering and I tried adjusting, bending contacts, etc. to no avail. I finally swapped left to right to try to see if that would improve things. Only thing I did was make both lights flicker.
So this weekend I finally decided to hardwire the LED's to my headlight switch. That seemed to do the trick when I tested them in the garage. But once on the road they started flickering again. Both lights flicker but not at the same time so shouldn't be my connection to headlight.
Does anyone know if a possible failure mode for LED's is flickering? My quick research said failure is dimming, but no mention of flickering.
TIA for your thoughts.
