issue with aftermarket daytime running lights - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I installed the JDM DRL 11W PD13W bulbs around late November 2014 so about 3 months ago and had been very happy with the look but about 2 weeks ago one of them started blinking which looked like I had my blinker on. When I turn them off for a while then turn them back on it'll stop but then maybe 10 mins later it starts doing it again. I just happened to notice it on the vehicle's bumper in front of me one day.

Has anyone had this problem? Do I just have a bad bulb? Wonder if they're still under warranty.

Very odd. Have you contacted the retailer?

I had a very similar problem with a set I bought off Oracle. I eventually just gave up and removed them. I'm giving the set that Ofer has (off gen5) a spin to see how my luck fares there. I was never able to figure out/fix what was happening with the prior set though. Best of luck!
