I just installed my Angelibrite Version 2! However, I still notice when I start my car the Angelibrite Version 2 flickers/flashes intermittently for a few seconds.

For those that just installed their Version 2, can you please check if yours does that? I previously had Version 1 and it flickers/flashes intermittently. Hence, that is the primary reason I got Version 2.

Btw, the way I can tell it flickers/flashes intermittently is because I have a mirror in front of my car.

Any thoughts/suggestions Dave?

Thank you!

It is normal when it flashes intermittently when you start your car. This is your car system checking to see if your bulbs are acutally shorted out. When you use OEM halogen you don't see this, but when you change to LED say from Angelibright or Predator Ice, you will get this. It is normal. The real question is, is it brighter? How much brighter?

mine is not yet here Dave , but guess it can be also a check-up procedure when the electricity is on, checks and levels the heat too, circuit etc, same with LED tails they do not flash but when engine is one w auto-light there is a message for 1 sec and CLING, but that worth all the look. Hope it is nothing serious.

Mine don't flash at all. They start up as normal, just like the OEM bulbs.

Thanks 525iSE. Yes, it does appear to be brighter. With Version 2, it appears more visible during the day time as compared to Version 1. For instance, after they were installed on Sat about 12PM, it appears I notice the angel eyes more compared to Version 1. In terms, of how much brighter I don't think I can quantify at this point. Likewise in the night time, it does appear to be brighter.

I will try to take some pictures of Version 2 and post pictures of Version 1 for you guys to see and determine for yourself.

That's really odd. I wonder why mine don't flash. It seems with all the folks that the flashing happens to, this is the norm. Maybe mine are faulty since they don't flash...
