Strobing LEDs

[boehml]

So I installed. Set of KC Headlights yesterday, they worked fine all day/night. This afternoon when I start the jeep up, they start flickering/strobing like crazy, but only when the Jeep is in gear.

Also, once high or low beams are engaged, the strobing/flickering stops. When I removed one headlight and put the old one back in, the strobing/flickering stopped on the other LED.

Any ideas? The lights come with a built in antinflicker.

its basically high voltage pulses from the vehicle that causes it I thought
it'll wear the LED's out in the end over time
I'm thinking a capacitor acts like a battery in the effect of evening out the power that goes to the LED
sort of how you add a very large capacitor to your car stereo amp to keep the line voltage constant if you've ever ran a large amp etc
maybe more internet research will provide more answers

Turns out that the 7" KC headlights aren't DRL compatible. I turned off my DRL with my Flashpaq and voila, problem solved.
