LED bulb swap issues
I installed the z flash kit to get rid of the magnetic cab light on the back rack. With that I’ve had the front LED headlights swapped out for a while from the factory halogens, no issues. I installed LED tail light bulbs made by Alla lighting. I fixed the hyper flash blinker issue. However when the bulbs are on running light or standing break, they look like they pulsate, or slightly strobe. Any clues? Bad bulbs? More resistors needed? Any ideas would be great

I ended up using the resistor method on the two outside wires of the rear tail light bulb plug. You’ll need for resistors. I haven’t yet played with the foreskin, but I see a lot of guys having good luck with some other mods. Did you also do the swap from halogen bulbs to LED? did you have that same pulsating issue? I’m just wondering if it’s the particular bulb I chose

So I installed it into my 2022 when I got that. Same issue. All doors would lock with fob except driver door. Removed Z Flash, no more problems. I had 2 modules in a few trucks over the years. One was the original OBD model and the last one was the BCM module. Very little maneuvering room and not fun to try and get the kick panel back on.
They didn't seem too responsive to any questions I had. Z Flash went with rest of the trash to the curb one day.
Although kind of pricey I put a Wicked Warnings module in that flashes the lights on my door mirrors. Works great. https://www.wickedwarnings.com/produ...o-flasher-kit/

Dumb question - do the lights do this if you remove the Z Flash from the equation? I ask because I had one in a 2020 that caused a power door lock issue on the driver door. Removed module, problem went away.

Then it would appear to rule the Z Flash out then. In my experience Alla has had good products and immediately sent out a new LED switchback bulb when I had one go bad several years ago. They just wanted the old one back in return. Wonder if they'd ever heard of an issue like this?
