Default Angel eyes led - flickering and pulsating when engine on

Hi guys

Just bought some LED lights for the halos on my e60 lci. I have halogen lights.

Bought an led kit but with the engine running one seems really unstable

If it isn't the bulb is it a common issue?

I think its probably just a faulty led bulb perhaps? A lot of them are made in china and quality can be hit and miss.

Hope so, headlights out to fit and they weren't cheap. £46.

My hid kit causes radio interference so was hoping it wasn't another casualty of the weird e60 wiring

In the UK someone sells identical looking ones for half the price but I paid the extra as this seller looked better and specifically mentions no fm radio interference, which bizarrely affects me with my hid kit

Seller is we-sell-hids they have obviously read my complaint well as they have returned to me saying that they've never had a complaint about them being dim..... Errr flicking on and off is not anything to do with brightness!

They've offers r me to return it's just a pain
