Flickering LED low beam headlights

[C_Whelan88]

Hoping for some help here. I drive a 2019 Silverado 1500 Custom. The truck came with halogen bulbs, so I purchased aftermarket LED bulbs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNG5S5P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) as a replacement. I noticed after I'm driving for about 5-10 min, the low beams do a slight flicker (not on/off flicker, but a strobe light effect type of flicker) and I can't figure out the fix. The company I purchased the bulbs from have a terrible customer service department, so they've been no help.

 

Anyone have a similar issue and know how/what I need to do to get the LED bulbs to stop flickering?

Low quality LED bulbs. You'd need to find a different set (different brand), but I'd look into getting a retrofit to eliminate any issues altogether. LED bulbs in halogen housings never turn out great.

Option 1 - Try a CANBUS inline adapter on those and see if it fixes it.

 

Option 2 (my preferred choice) - Buy better bulbs. 

 

I know they are $$$ but if you can get a coupon code, I've had zero issues with the Micro Evolution series from VLEDs.  They fit inside stock housings (you can tuck the extra wiring in the lamp back), they are fully indexable for proper orientation in reflector headlights, and the 5000K was the closest I've seen an aftermarket bulb get to factory LED color which is about 5500K.  I got their CANBUS units as well but when I put them in my 2016 Colorado I didn't use them and had zero flickers or errors, and no cutouts during ABS or Stabilitrak operation like I did with my XenonDepot in my 15 HD.  

 

I have no experience with LASFit but plenty of mentions of them on this forum and other various places.  

 

Also IMO, nothing higher than 6000K for color.  The color from the driver's seat and from oncoming traffic is obnoxious past 6000K.  And they don't look "cool" as those that buy them think they do.  Wayyy to blue.
