Default Truck lite led headlights flicker

Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem I'm having with the truck lite led headlights flickering. I've tried an ago flicker harness but I'm still having the same problems.

By the flicker are you referring to the day time running light? I had same issue I bought a procal module and changed daytime running lights to the fog lights

no there is slight flicker in the lights, I have it also and its caused by the pulsing of the Canbus system in the new JKs. SMS makes a harness that wires the lights directly to the battery and eliminates the problem. I've also recently seen posts that trucklite has released a harness.

Trucklite has a harness now. Pretty cool and worth the money in my opinion. I removed my tuner for the procal so i could change my daytime lights to fogs too.

Installed new harness yesterday, no flicker. Still slight delay when switching from high beam back to low, no major issue. Drivetrain America has the harness, part #96830.

Awesome. Good to hear. The delay is very minor in my opinion

The new Truck-Lite adapters work very well.

We got a bunch in and sold out pretty quick. I expect to have more available around 8/13.

It's not the Canbus system.
The head lights get pulsewidth modulated DC.
The lights get power 78% of the time, with a pulse frequency of about 90Hz.

What's the price of your TL pwm adapter?
