So my driver's side angel eye now blinks on and off. It does this in every application. When lights are one, when parking lights are on, etc?

I have had the bulb in there for a few years - I believe they are mtechs.

Any solutions or possible reasons why it is doing this?

p3style: when you messaged me, I didn't even realize that your AE is a few years old. That being the case, it most likely is because it's on its way out.

AE bulb is gasping for breath. I'd look into ordering another pair soon. It's done.

Yah, strobbing at initializing is normal for most LED bulb swaps.

Yup - blinks all the time - I'll try cleaning it but it looks like I need to contact John for a new set

Thanks for the input all!
