Make sure its plugged in all the way, if the bulb is indeed bad, call the company maybe they'll send you a replacement. Can't hurt to ask.

My Leds on my plate flash too
I called SuperBright LEDs and they said that I need to send the bad bulbs back and they will ship me new ones. Only problem is, shipping the bad bulbs back is almost as expensive and just buying new bulbs.... :rolleyes:

I have LEDS in my license plate also, but I have had no problems with mine. I got mine from autolumination.com. They were $9.99 a piece. I don't know if the higher price means better quality, but I don't have any complaints about them. I have all my taillights, reverse, license plate, trunk, interior bulbs all LEDS. No problems.

i had the 5 led bulbs and they did the same thing. Looked like a strobe light going down the road. It was horrible. Instead of re-ordering another 5 LED, I went w/ the High Powered Single LED. and I find it works/looks much better...

sure, i'll get you a pic up tomorrow.

WLED-WHP LED Wedge Base Bulbs

Check those out. I actually like the color of the single LED a lot better than the 5 LED bulb...side by side the 5 LED was a lot more "blue", whereas the single one is more pure white.

I hope single ones are a little more brighter. cuz you know 5 leds arent that bright.

Going to a Lexus dealer and getting bulbs is probably the closest match to that picture
