LED headlights flicker when off
Just installed some new led lights in my high beam, low beam and fog lights. All the lights work but when i turn off the lights my low beams flicker and the lights will not close? i put back in my stock halogen lights in the low beam only to test and everything works as it should. They are all set up with diode ballasts. Do i have a bad brand of lights (SeaLight)? has anyone else run into this problem or am I missing something? Thank You for your help.

To get them to close either turn them off with the car running or switch them to high beam if the car is off and then turn them off. Not sure about the diode ballasts as my LED's do not require that and do not flicker when off.

go ahead and do a search there are several threads about the head lights not closing (also about light spread with LED bulbs). You can buy bulbs with built in resisters or add separate resisters that will make them close. again, lot of info in those threads
