    Default Is it normal for LED sidelight bulbs to pulse

    I fitted led sidelight bulbs today.
    Canbus Error free ones.
    Alls well but they pulse when the lights are not on
    Is this normal as it looks like a police car?

    A lot pulse for about 60 seconds after you turn the ignition off. It is the bulb "blown" detect system working, an LED bulb needs just a very little amount of power to work, and the bulb check thing suplies just enough.
