Electrical Problems

Hi guys,
im a new poster and was wondering if someone could help me with the issue at hand. I run 5000k Leds as headlights and i recently put in a performance chip. The right light keeps flickering and having problems, I've checked all the connections. thinking about removing the chip. any ideas?

Welcome aboard!

I cant see how a performance tune could be making your headlights flicker.

Worth a shot, I suppose.

Keep us posted!

Do you mean a tune? I remember performance chips back in the 80s where you had to crack open the ECM and physically remove a chip and put in a different one. With today's engine management systems I didn't think this was even feasible.

Anyhoo. I would lean towards checking all connections and if that doesn't do it swap bulbs and drivers from one side to the other and see if the problem still exists. Honestly, being on three different forums I have not heard of a quality LED headlight bulb option except for Philips Ultinon and maybe CN360 and it's still early on both of those to know their true reliability. To me it sounds like a driver going south.
