They're in your fog light spots? That's typically where the flicker starts and the solution is some small resistors. I don't have the values though...sorry.

Well you could always use the stock wiring to trigger a relay and connect the Rigids to the battery.
You have them hooked up already right? Hows the light output and do you think that they are blinding to other drivers? Curious cause I wanted to maybe do the same thing.

Mine flickered back and forth from left to right all the time. Wire them up through a relay. That's what I did and flicker is gone.
