I installed 8 LEDs from superbrightleds.com in my g35, and i noticed that when i start the car up the LEDs flicker.... is this normal?

 

i dont think that is normal ,might be going bad

 

They are brand new... just installed it today. Could it be drawing more power than the stock bulbs that came with the car?

Anyone here with stock lightbulbs in their car notice flickering during engine start?

 

even tho its new it still could be defective. if its flickering somethings loose on the circuit board. time to replace or return

 

LED's act weird for reasons unknown to me. I replaced the side markers on my 330i w/ LED lights and they glowed constantly, even for 5 minutes after I shut the car off. I wouldn't worry about it, unless it really bothers you. If it is bothersome, put the originals back in and chock it up as a learning experience. Sorry if I was no help at all.

 

leds work at a specific voltage...when u crank the voltage of the car's electrical system can drop to below 10Volts....this might be out of the operating range of the LEDs so they flicker...If they don't flicker when the car is on i wouldnt worry too much about it.....if you want to check this u can put in your stock bulbs and see if they dim slightly when you crank(stock bulbs have a wide operating range)

 

Ill give it a try.... thanks for the explanation, it makes sense even to a rookie like me lol

 

It is honestly fine. I've had them in my car and have had no problems. This will not destroy your electrical system or anything.

 

thats in no way weird that just a bad light...

for the OP thats normal ive replaced all my lights with LEDs they dont go off (blink) but they do flicker with the engine on start up thats normal when i did replace my battery to a bigger battery (Duralast Gold) they stopped. i know its off topic but OEM Nissan batterys are horrible (you can search any nissan Infiniti boards theyll vouch for that) even if i bought a Nissan Infiniti brand new id change the battery just because there not reliable. the only place you shouldnt put an led (although you can) is in blinkers they dont last very long when they blink

 

Ummmm I just noticed while driving that the led lightbulbs are all staying lit.... very dim, but lit. Wtf?!? Did the interior lights stay lit even (very dim) with stock bulbs? I am going to try and post pics.

 

I am in my car waiting for my gf and its been 5 minutes since the cars been off, and the less look dimly lit.... where did u get ur bulbs from? Was it superbrighleds?

 

I know this is dumb but r all ur doors closed

 

Lol yes

 

Ok then idk lol I'd reset the battery if not then replace with the stock lights see if it still happens if not then replace ur LEDs I go through Energy_speed on ebay I've had great service and the lights last

 

Hmm check this explanation out.... dunno if its correct, but makes sense
