They will blink on start up and every so often, coding will be required. I have the exact codes if you want to have someone to code them.

All lights not coded to stop warm and cold monitoring will send a voltage spike down the line every few minutes and at startup, causing a flicker in LEDs but no light in a halogen bulb. This is why coding is absolutely required regardless of error free LEDs, or inline resistors for LED replacement of factory halogen bulbs.

Low beam coding,



You'll also need to change the "IS LED" to aktiv as well
