Flashing Reversing Light after LED Replacement

Curious!

Just replaced standard bulbs with these;

Weird thing is (and I have swapped lights from left to right and reversed polarity) the left hand side light flashes when going into reverse while the right is a solid light. Interestingly having it flash is a nice safety feature, BUT, I would prefer it to stay solid. Has anyone had this issue and know how to remedy?

You mean it keeps on flashing at regular intervals?

Put a multi-meter onto the light plug with it on... you might find its a low voltage and its causing it to flash..

It may just be a faulty LED, I got one a few weeks back. The funny thing was I have bought heaps of the cheap ebay china ones without issue, and one of the two I bought from a very reputable local supplier here ((which were bloody expensive lol) started to flash and short about half of its diodes. It was happily replaced by the supplier of course.

Thanks to all for your responses. A replacement bulb is on the way. I too have all chinese leds and they have performed perfectly to date.
