Default Re: Any electronic experts out there

Yup, I put LEDs in my parking light sockets and they work fine with the engine off but at an idle they look like a strobe light. Interestingly enough, raising the revs to a fast idle or higher makes that stop. In my case I'm wondering if the ignition is drawing enough power to drop the voltage below the dropout voltage of the LEDs every time the points close. Then the gen kicks in and gives them enough juice?


Anyway.. sorry for the tangent. I wouldn't think there would be any issue with interference with a thermal flasher. Do your rear signal lights behave just as erratically or is it just the fronts?
