Yes, me too. I know I've watched at least one video on it too. Rigid flicker when plugged into factory fog wiring. I do not have this issue with my PIAA LED fogs.

Yea, the Duallys flicker after being turned off. I think it looks kinda cool. Something about excesses energy working its way out that causes it?

I guess so. Its not doing it with the factory fogs because halogen are not affected by very low current, but LED's are.

None at all.

I have the VisionX foglight kit. No problems, no flicker on or off. They are extremely bright and cut through the fog like a hot knfe through butter. My only gripe with them is the beam pattern. They do not have a wide enough beam angle (only 35 degree) to serve the purpose of foglights. Although I am very happy with the VisionX they are not wide enough for the UK roads. The roads hear are very narrow and the light does not make it to the sides to see where the road ends or where the other lane(s) are. I would suggest for the actual purpose pf fog lights go with Rigid D2 wide beam and aim it way down on the raod or go with Rigid D or D2 diffused if you are worried about blinding people.

JW Speaker just announced the new 6145 LED fog, they are a straight drop in to the OEM bumper, due out June/July. They will be road legal for UK and Europe. Have gone on my want list, to match my 8700 headlights. :-)

How do you like your PIAA lights? Do they compare at all in brightness to the rigid duallys?

I have a write up in here somewhere. No, they're nothing like the Rigids. About the same intensity as oem fogs but with perfect matching color and lens design as my Trucklite LEDs. They're better used as DRLs than as fogs! Just can't justify the JW Speaker fogs yet.

Wire a relay in between the light and the switch (mine are right behind the lights) solves the problem. Simple, cheap and works. On flickering LED headlights you need 25V 6700u Capacitors.

I have duallys in the bumper with factory wiring and Speaker LED headlights.
