Default LED License Light issues..

So I've been having issues with mostly all led others my license plate my interior my accent lights I have them all LED 194 192 164 etc the wedged ones.
Lately I've been having issues with them flickering. It's really annoying I got pulled over for a flickering license plate light last night. So with these LEDs I've bought off eBay and AutoZone.

Anyone know why it flickers or which are the best led lights I could use that won't flicker?

1 problem with LEDs is fit within the bulb holder, glass bulbs are thicker. Check the contact points, squeeze them together for a tighter fit.
Or you could just have a bad LED, thou I doubt they would all be bad.


ijdmtoy.com Good products at a reasonable price.

EBay hit and miss. They come so cheap off eBay just order a bunch from different sellers. Then if any fail you have spares.

5K WHITE 4 LED HIGH POWER FLANK BULBS 194 168 158 160LM | 1 PAIR - 194 - 168 - 158 LED - Shop Bulb #

I guarantee you won't find a better LED bulb for your license plate than these. Not only are they bright, but they fire the light at a 90 degree angle to match the bulb mounting position of our car. I've been running mine for a long time and they never cease to impress me when I see them lit.

Or for a bunch less you can get these and even if one or two fail they are dirt cheap. http://m.ebay.com/itm/251625961510?nav=SEARCH

Unfortunately, those are 36mm long and would never fit in our license plate housing. 36mm would barely even fit our parking light housing.

Superbrightleds has been good. Always bright as they claim but still expensive.
