might not be either, could be the bulb checker system which will pulse the system slightly, mine did it when 1st fitted, all you need is a capacitor to smooth it out.

Anyone come across the same thing but with LED replacement bulbs. I've changed my side lights and rear indicator lights for LED replacements and i'm getting the "pulsing" even when the ignition is off and the car is locked up. Any idead on how to overcome this?

Also I fitted a plug and play HID kit i bought from eBay specific for my car for £80! works a treat as it comes with the capacitors already built in

I woke up in the morning with them still flickering. doesnt like leds due to the power difference. same happened with mine. If its the side lights theyw ill prob be 501's get some Mtechs off ebay and they will no longer flicker

You will prob find them to be brighter and clearer anyway

The kit has everything you need to directly replace the existing bulbs with no soldering or difficult modifications
