led flicker

i installed led dash lights 6 months ago haven't  used the car a lot  at night . so now i  some of the lights have started to flicker or wave . any else have this happen i have had other green in ihe cluster and no problem . just bad led or ?   

any ideas ?

I installed a bunch of LEDs in my daily driver vehicles. I've had a couple that have been flickering and simply replaced them. I chalk it up to them being 10 for $6 units I bought off

i got some of amazon also not that cheep  but it probably what is going on  some do and others don't

Same thing here, have had one go out and one flickering. I just replaced them cause they were so cheap.

Yep, all LED's pulse as they burn to keep them cool.  Part of a circuit design.  When I worked in automotive lighting here we used high quality components on our Printed Wiring Boards to control the circuit pulse.   I bet they aren't that cautious for 6 bucks a set.

This is why SMDs (not landscaping LEDS) designed by a car guy FOR CARS cost more! When I see all the "I bought mine at Amazon" and Walmart - I WANT to talk about quality and value.....................but don't because MOST don't respect a hobbyist running a company, investing to have THE BEST products made and refusing to compromise. They want cheap.

P.S. I said to Bill why don't you sell a CHEAP LED? He said "Those single diode bulbs from 15 years ago? Oh HELL NO !!"

OMG Guys... 

a 100µF +16V or more ..Capacitor across the input of the LED circuit ...good bye flicker
