Default LED Parking Light Flickering

Hi. I don't log on here a lot, so please feel free to move this topic to another section if I'm posting in the wrong section. I have a LED parking light that is flashing (looks like a strobe light in a club). I put them both in, but the passenger side is flashing and will not stop. I have no clue what is going on. This sucks because I installed a new coil pack and spark plugs and now this is going on. I have a video of it, but don't know how to attach it. My name is Richard and I live in GA. Originally from Jacksonville, FL, born in Baltimore, MD.

Defective LED. It's common. I've lost count of how many LEDs I have been through due to flickering, burning out.

Oh, wow. That's extremely good to hear! I thought it was something wrong with the car. I emailed the guy that sold the lights to me, so hopefully he'll send me another bulb. Thank you for replying to my post!

Flickering LEDs are usually due to one or two issues:
1. A bad connection from the LED to the socket. You can fix this by taking the pins on the LED and bending them outwards a bit to make the contact area wider inside the socket.
2. A bad LED. With cheap eBay / Amazon LEDs this is pretty common. Make sure you contact your seller to get a replacement. JS2K.com! / Supernova LEDs - Home page - Quality LEDs for your Car use only the highest quality LEDs, and our rate of failure is MUCH lower and shouldn't happen, but we do cover you if it does!
