Hey guys having some trouble installing these bulbs in the taillights, constantly getting the fast flicker..
What can I do to resolve this?

are you using load resistors?

exactly, in short: the LED's use less power than regular bulbs so they flicker due to the full power going to them vs. getting reduced in a load resistor. I am no expert but there are quite a few people on here who have successfully installed LED's. They can help you out..

Yup, if your not using load resistors then that is definitely your problem. I tried mine without the resistors at first and they flickered like crazy.

if you are using load resistors, you are using the wrong ones, or they arent on the right wires.

X2 that...it took me three tries to get the right wires...and I have a wiring diagram...lol...make sure you mount those load resisters to a good hunk of metal because they get HOT!!

No I haven't tried any load resistors, just plugged it in.. Just wanted to make sure that the resistors is what I needed.
By the way, super jealous of your truck! Where on earth did you get that hood scoop??
