Hey guys so I did the simple LED conversion on my gauge cluster by simply ordering some T10 led's (non canbus) and they were really bright and my gauges worked great! but then the lights on them after a few weeks started to flicker, so the big thing about that is people use canbus LED's (basically just a LED with a resistor) and then that should take away the flicker everyone is saying but my problem is that I went and bought a set of canbus LED's and I cant even get them to light up in the gauge cluster (but they work great in the license plate light part so I know the LED's are working) I think its really strange, is anyone else having this same issue? is there a different way I should go about fixing this flicker issue?

Lower quality LEDs will start flickering after a while.
It matters how you put the bulbs, they have positive and negative terminals, rotate them 180 and see if they work. -------------------- |
