Front led parking bulb not working properly

Was wondering can anyone help, recently changed my standard fron lights to xenons, the thing is the park lights took the look off them as they were still the cream / yellow colour, so I got a set of led pure whites and fitted them, thing is they seem to have a mind of their own, they will come on, flicker then go off, then when the full beams go on re come on and go off again

Anyone any ideas

Sounds like dodgy bulbs. Do the 2 flicker or just one?

Could be a number of things really.. Cheap eBay bulbs? Could be the CANBUS system in the car (depending on the model) having issues with the lower voltage?

I had a set of those bulbs before and like that they either blew fairly quickly or did strange things sometimes even though they were supposedly CANBUS compliant.

Both, but this is the 2nd set

Got them in a motor factors 16 euro for the set, is there any fix or am I better off going back to the mustard coloured ones

I've got the LED ones too and they work perfectly fine. Ebay job too :cool:

Mine are in a 97 fto.

You could try ordering a set off ebay and see if you have better luck. It would be hard to accept the mustard after you've had the ice.
