Well, today i added the 6800 mF 50 V capacitor to each side (wires green and black from the taillight harness) and it worked perfectly.
No more flickering and steady bright red leds.
Thank you again for your post.
Solved all with US$ 15.00 (equivalent in Brazilian Reais).
BR,
Paulto
Paulito, could you please post a picture of the capacitor install? Where did you mount it? Does it get very hot?
Thx
