Default VLED's 194 5w light flickering problem

Hello all, I had installed a set of LED city lights (194's) from V-LEDS.com and I have a problem with the left side light. It always illuminates correctly when first turned on, but I notice after having my hi-beams on occasionallywhile driving around when I park in the garage I see that the left side LED is flickering erratically. It will be off, then flicker, repeat!

Makes me think somehow I have the famed Lucas "on, off, and flicker" switch installed

I have taken the LED out and made sure the two contacts are not misaligned and I made sure the connector terminals were not spread apart to far. I was wondering if this was a case of excess heat problems or do I just have a bad LED??

Thank you!

You have a bad LED. V-Leds should be able to give you an exchange. This happened to with my license plate lights.

I heard back from V-LEDS.com and they are sending out a new set of LED's at no charge. They said normally they have a 30-day warranty from purchase but were still willing to replace them.

I had ordered them in February but did not install till mid-late March.

I wanted share the stand-up customer service from V-LEDS.com to all of you.
I will post back with the results of the new LED's.

I have used V-LED's for two years now. They have always given me great products.

Had same problem with 2 different sets of LED's I got on ebay. One of the bulbs would flicker. I picked up a better quality set and all is well now.
