Hey everyone
 A few weeks back I installed a SpreeLED kit in blue into my guage cluster. Recently, I have found that the RPM gauge's needle has been flickering after running the car with the lights on for about 10 minutes. Then again today, after a run to the servo, the speedometer started flickering too. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it, so if anyone has had the same problem or knows what's wrong, would you please be able to chime in and help me out? It's not that big of a deal, but I have no doubt it would be distracting at night. Cheers and God bless, Ben |

I've had flickering LEDs before. I think it was with a 5-LED matrix. sometimes's there are just manufacturing defects in the LED fabrication, the more complex the fabrication, the more chance of defect. I'd just replace that one and see if that fixes you up.
worst one i had was an LED cook itself in my gauge-cluster, transformed into an SED (smoke emitting diode), _bad_ smell, 1/3 of the cluster goes dim. cluster was perfectly fine, replaced LED. all good. |
