SMD LED ANGEL EYES HALO RINGS FLICKER

[cuban_bmwx5]

hello everyone i was wondering if anyone has bought the SMD LED angel eyes halo kit from coldtoo on ebay and if anyone has had an issue with them because every time i turn on my wipers when it rains the rings flicker so i just wanted to know if aomeone else had this issue and how did you get rid of that issue? hope some one can help me out

perhaps check your connection or any resistors that might be on it? could be a ground issue

i am gonna check the connection and ground after dinner and is the resistor the plug (relay) that come with the wires for the rings ?

[Moezer]

Yeah, since they r not stock they need the relay or resistor to fool the computer into thinking its running stock lighting and from the warning that pops up on ur dash I only got led on mine and one isno good I think as if I wiggle the resistor wires the halo turn off and on

interference from a wiper motor - in which circuit did you tap to power the AEs (if they are aftermarket)?

if the AEs are stock, and you have the LEDs flickering, than it is a poor RF insulation and/or ground insulation. look into ground loop isolators for the ground feed of the LEDs.

for the RF insulation, consider aluminum grounded foil - they sell metal tape at home improvement stores (duct metal tape) that has sticky one side and can be wrapped around some wires in place of shielding... this definitely will look ghetto...

k well i just fixed that problem i had the ground wire connected to a bolt that hooks up to the wipers so no more flickering .. but it does flicker when i start the ride but i rather that then when im driving with the wipers and they flickering thanks for all the help every one

flickering at start up is a cold monitoring - well documented issue that supposedly will kill your LEDs over time... the Cold Monitoring can be turned off using some programming tools, such as NCS Expert

where do i go to do this programming? or do i buy it and do it myself?

[TerminatorX5]

there are people that can do programming on-site or remotely, they mail you a cable, you connect cable to the car and they remotely program the car to your likening... I think OOO or tripple-O or something like that, is doing that... there could be people close to you who can come and do it for you... a dealer will not be much of a help as his hands are tied by the corporate...

or, you can buy a kit from a dude somewhere in romania, install the software on your laptop and do the programming yourself, about $30-50 from ebay... just do a search for NCS expert, INPA, romanian - all of that info is on the forum...
