I liked them...

Hello I install the set yesterday. But now my turn lights start to flicker when the engine is running. Without engine running,the turn signal works normal. Can someone help me out with this please.

Don't spend any more money on those switchbacks. I had a pair from proledlights and some from china (actually they are thesame) both had issues, flickering when with engine running etc etc. They just keep giving you shit. A waste of money. I installed the diode dynamics tribar switchbacks and left the stock bulb as turn signal.

It's not switchback faults - I had some cheap switchbacks from US (but actually those were from china) and they worked without issues. Some mustangs have a more sensitive electrical system that causes this flickering.

I remember someone talking about the german mustang forum, someone was trying to fix this but I haven't heard about that in a long time.
If you have one of these 'unlucky' cars, I believe there's nothing easy you can do.

Ok. That’s bad for me do you have a link for this forum or the name?

You can probably use FORScan to disable hyperflash. Go to block 726-27-01 and replace X1XX XXXX XXXX with X0XX XXXX XXXX. This should do the job! If you need more info about FORScan go to the following thread:

I hope this helps

It's not hyperflash (car tells you that a turn light bulb is broken) but flickering - a problem discussed long time ago but probably never solved.

I too have this problem (with two different sets of cheap switchbacks - although one set was identical to others on the forum who installed them successfully). Video showing the issue here:


I think it is due to a PWM signal begin sent to the LEDs, and on some cars the width of the PWM is not wide enough to keep the LED (rather than the bulb) illuminated. Still weird though, and I would love to find a resolution.
