Default LED Tail Light Question

I purchased a set of LED tail ligh at the fun Fest last month. Put them on, easy plug and play, and they had hiper blink when installed. After starting and driving they worked fine. the instructions said that there needed to be at least 14 volts to make them work.

I don't seam to have 14 volts all the time. Sometimes they work as intended, sometimes they hiper blink. Do I need a new battery or would the alternator be a problem?

I love the look and the higher intensity of the lights.

Thanks, Mark
