How to solve LED light flickering issues?

Reconnect the neutral and live wires of the switch socket properly. You can distinguish between neutral and live wires using methods such as a test pen, multimeter, or wire color. Enhance heat dissipation by applying thermal coating on the lamp housing or other methods.
When I encounter flashing LED lights while driving, I immediately pull over to check for safety. Flashing indicates unstable circuitry, which could lead to sudden failure—especially dangerous at night, as it impairs visibility and increases the risk of accidents. My first step is to check if the fuse is blown by locating the corresponding headlight fuse in the engine compartment's fuse box and replacing it with a new one. If the flashing persists, I inspect the wiring connections for looseness, particularly at the plugs and lamp sockets, as prolonged vibrations can cause them to come loose. Poor grounding or excessive voltage can also cause LED flickering, so it's best to use a multimeter to test the battery voltage—if it's too high, the alternator may need repair. Avoid DIY fixes, especially on vehicles with modified wiring, as mistakes are common. For safety, I always address such issues promptly by visiting a professional repair shop to prevent potential hazards or cascading effects on other lights. As a routine, I also inspect bulb conditions and clean connectors every six months to prevent recurring flickering issues.
