LED light help
Just bought some LED Eagle Diamond Vision headlights on amazon.ca. They work very well with headlight tuned on all the way (tailights are on also). High beams work good too. I just have an issue, there is a very faint flicker when running daytime running lights. I'm in Canada so it's illegal to not have DRL. I was thinking of disabling DRL, and just rotate the headlight switch one time to have the parking lights and tail lights on, and if I rotate the switch once more is when my headlights will turn on fully. Should I just not worry about the flicker? Will it damage anything? I think it's power turning them on and off very quickly because of low voltage, can't remember. I suck at wiring and what not. Thanks.

That's because the DRL pulse the voltage to keep current draw low, for dinner low beam.
You can add a cap to cancel out the effect of flickering. Probably something like this Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk |

"Hi Jalen Thank you for contacting us. For the mild flickering on your daytime running lights, the anti-flicker module will not improve it. You can disable your vehicle's daytime running module or remove the fuse for the daytime running lights. You may need to ask a mechanic for assistance. Please let me know if you have any other questions Regards Sona C" |

Unplug the module then.
I've rewired the DRL to the fogs. I basically just tapped the light blue wire from the module, to the orange wire, and added a 100uf cap so it doesn't flicker the fog relay, and it's been working for the past 5+ years. I'm not sure about those anti-flicker, but I'm sure adding a proper cap to the circuit will fix your issue with using DRL with your LED. Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk |

The orange wire needs grounded to work (independently). The module keeps fogs working like OEM. If you want to properly disable DRL, you need to cut the thick blue (iirc is light blue) from the module, then you can use the signal to power lights of your choice. One day, one day I will pull the module out and take a picture of my modification. Hehe What you can also do is wire up a relay, and turn on a set of lights on car start. You have many many options. Also, not sure what the law says about DRL in Alberta, but Quebec SAAQ says they have to be stock location. Although no one gives a damn about it. Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk |

Drawdowns in the network are often associated with the generator and its operation. Theoretically, after turning on the power unit, the battery rest and even recharges from the generator. This small device takes on all the tasks of providing power supply.
If you installed the radio in the car yourself, taking power from the wrong place, the problem of battery drawdown and load on all vital organs would be very relevant. It is better to exclude artisanal interference in the electrical power supply system altogether. When I installed the LED strip with https://www.amazon.com/car-lights-ca.../dp/B09L86JRRM, I was as careful as possible. I advise you to check the wiring in the car.
