help needed...rear brake light flickering when lights are on.

[MongyUk]

Hi all,

hope you can help.

I have recently fitted new led side lights to the headlights, these obviously didnt work so i fitted some reccomended resistors to them.

since then they have worked perfectly and I no-longer have a warning light on the dash. However i now constantly (when the headlights are switched on) have the rear top break light flickering. When it flickers it is olnly dim....but it looks weird.
I wish to keep the led side lights as i have hids and normal side lights look stupid with them.

Any ideas?

I think you may get a better audience for this if you post it in the Mk5 General Area.

^^^ Very good idea Bacillus

What ohm resisitor did you get? 10k ohm will provide roughly 25 amps which is what you'll need

These are the ones I have got at the moment.
