    I installed some Novsight Led headlights. They are great on my 05 DC. They work as they should, but I notice that my cluster doesn’t show when I have my high beams on, Is that normal with the install? I don’t have fog lights and will install later. I know I might need a resistor if I install fog lights. But shouldn’t the cluster let me know when I have my high beams on or do I need a resistor too?

    I just noticed this evening after coming home late, that my drivers side headlights has a small flickering light on the new LED I got for it and saw that the passenger side has a quick one too, but it’s mainly on drivers side. It does it and stops and does it again a few minutes later. I had my truck parked all day, Has anyone experienced this issue?

    Is one of the LED elements flickering? Is that what you're saying? May be bad LED bulbs.

    The led work great when I have them on. But when I have the truck off I saw a flicker on them. I’ve had them on now for about two weeks.

    Where did you mount these at? Could you maybe take some pictures? I've had resistors on my 2nd gen and they get extremely hot. I had LED bulbs for my headlights and fogs and one would always have a flicker when the truck was off. I spent good money on them from xenon pro. I took them off and have HIDS now. Would like to put them back on. The HIDS are bright but don't like how they take awhile to warm up.

    LED's operate at a wide voltage range. I've noticed my son's third brake light LED on his Mustang has a faint glow, even when "off".
