Default C5 LED tail lights

We've noticed several people are having problems with their LED lights with the rapid flash syndrome. The LED tail lights that we sell have the resistor built into the light to prevent the rapid flash. The only time they will have a rapid flash is when the battery voltage is very low, 99% of the time they will flash normal. We have them on our web site for 300.00 with a 10% discount to forum members (270.00 plus shipping)
www.vettepitstop.com The discount code is CPNTNP or you can call 270-535-5623 to order.

That was a good advertisement. Very impressive imformation and a good price. I thought some one had issues with the LEDs. HAH !! LOL. But I have noticed their are different manufactures of these lights as I researched for a set. Hard to seperate between the quality if your uneducated. I'll keep you guys in mind.

I agree about the rapid flashing. After I installed my LED Halos I would get rapid flashing quite a bit but not all of the time. A week later my original AGM battery went bad after 4 years.

I installed an Optima red top and the LED's have been fine ever since. They do seem to be low voltage sensitive. So, if you have had LED's for awhile and start getting a lot of rapid flashing, check your battery!

I bought these and installed them last week. They are beautifully made and look absolutely stunning on the car. A bunch of my friends saw them last Saturday and everyone really liked them. Seeing them at night is a visual treat! The packaging that they come in is great too. Someone really gave a lot of thought to how these would be sent out to customers.

So far so good -

Except for one thing......mine sometimes flash fast, and sometimes flash normally. I have a brand new Optima Red top that is less than one month old. My car runs normally in the 13.0v - 13.9v range and that's consistent. So I know it's not the charging system or the battery. So why the inconsistent flashing?

Help?
