do you think theres something wrong with the car wiring or the lights wiring????? because the standard lights were fine.

how do i sort tha out then? is it bad earth from the car or the lights?

Its usually from the lights to the car.

Check the black (i think its black) earth wire has a solid connection to the Light cluster and that the cable is not damaged etc

i found out when fitted my LED lights that I cross wired them making it flash like a christmas tree. Problem was I attached them by coloour cordination and checking each light as I went along. Found out the colours don't weren't ment to match cos as standard theres one fog and one reverse. Needed to bridge them across to opposite light to get the wirring right
