they will flicker if the CB in the switch trips from an overload, IF your running halogens on an old switch it probably can't handle the amps. A new over the counter switch will fix it or you can go with a relay system to power the lights with the original switch. I've had good luck just replacing the switch .

I didn't consider the amp draw until you mentioned it above.
I put them in my '78 and they sure are a bright white

I had Silver Stars on my 'Trep, not the same as the old trucks I realize, but they only seem to last about a year in the 'Trep. Right now I have one Silver Star and one OEM, there is definitely a difference in the colour of the light. I don't know if the same durability problem will be there with the single rounds. I used the relay trick to help a bit on the truck, seems to working ok thus far. I don't know if I'm going to go with the Silver Stars on the truck though, just the thought of having to replace them yearly.
