Not true the flicker varies between the different models of JK's some have it really bad and others its barely noticeable. On my jeep it was very bad so I used an SMS harness and wired it directly from the battery and it got rid of it totally. The Duallys just need a capacitor to eliminate the small residual flicker after the Jeep is shut down.

On another note, has anyone had issues with wiring these direct causing issues with turn signals? Ever since the install I get a random front turn signal out warning. No rhyme or reason as to when it happens and it's both sides. Not at the same time though. Doesn't seem to happen when the Duallys are on, but may just be a coincidence. Also, turning the Jeep off and on resets it and they work fine. I've checked the bulbs and the wiring and everything looks good. I did do the market light mod, but that was last year and I've never had a problem until now.

subtle improvement, but no flicker. That was the main issue for me. and I don't get any random turn signals, I would double check the wiring for the marker mod.

Wiring looked fine. Not sure why after a year it would start now. And the fact it hasn't happened when they're on is weird. I'm gonna redo the marker wiring and see if that helps. Also gonna look into the capacitor for the duallys. Maybe it's the voltage issue messing with the system. Especially because it resets after the Jeep us turned off and on. All I know for sure is its frustrating.

Is this similar to what you used? Or was it the one they listed as warning canceler?
