Hey all, so kinda weird. Since I installed my LED headlights and fog lights I always thought I saw some kinda weird "pulsing" effect. Not always, but once in a while. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks. Well, upon taking a pic this morning I noticed through the camera lens it was sabsolutrly pulsing. Now what has me confused is all the lights (except the grill) have Canbus adapters. Its really not noticeable to the naked eye, i think?? What goes on here?

Weird.
Almost looks like your hazards are running through the lights.

Right? How odd. The grille lights are tapped into the parking lights, thats all. Otherwise the headlights and fogs are all plug and play with CANbus.

Hey Daniel, I know you said you had Canbus compatible LED lights but have you tried setting LED lights in AlfaOBD to see if that helps?

On camera, it's just an effect from PWM control and shutter speed.
