I had the same problem when I replaced the small bulbs in the angel eyes for leds. They would flicker , strobe like, when driving with the lights off. I tried load resistors but no good. Its a communication problem with the CAN system. I don't know if there's a work around yet.

I got the angel eyes to work with leds. Use a relay to power the leds seperately and use a resistor to fool the bulb failure system.

Basically Vectras and Signums dont like leds because of the canbus system.

Thats true, they don't like leds but you can fool it.
By the way - No need to shout, we can all hear you.

Maybe but you certainly want to be heard.
