Doesn't matter what any of these adverts claim... ANY LED bulbs (in the checked lamps)will pulse due to the bulb check system. CAN bus compatible or not... it's going to happen. The only way to prevent it is by having additional resistance in the line to fool the system into thinking there is a good incandescent bulb fitted.

I a similer set that are canbus and as above they still pulse due to canbus, and occasionally on start up it says check front park light usually left! But only on start up, on plus side i have had mine 2 years and still working like the did on the first day, a few ppl i know have baught 3-4 differant sets in yhe time i have had mine and keep dulling or failing, not same style as these ones the standard led, but i would say definately best set i have baught!

I've just gone back to incandescents & swapped out my "CANBus friendly" LED's for some Mtec 501's. While I prefer the LED's, and they were brighter, I just got fed up with having to drive with them turned on all the time due the the strobing.

Likewise in winter it's fine but in the lighter nights and days I have temporarily gone back to stock bulbs.
