LED number plate flicker ! by Trebor

I have just bought the bulbs below, the front sidelights fit and work fine, but the number plate lights flicker all the time so i have removed them for now.

If i fit one of the old style bulbs alongside one of the new LEDs the LED (Light Emitting Diode) stops flickering as son as i fit the old bulb which is strange.

Anyone else had this problem or coud advise ?

sidelights link ( all ok )

Planning is an unnatural process, much better to just get on with things, that way failure comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceeded by a period of worry and doubt

Rob. When you say 'all the time' is that when off or when on, or both?

If when off, it could be the 'cold monitoring' checking they are working. If the LEDs have the resistors in they should be OK, maybe they haven't.
