I know Kuro has done many led mods. I've done my low and high beams as well as fogs. More recently my license plate lights. But when the motor is running they flicker like crazy. Motor off and lights on they work just fine. Any ideas? TIA

I'm no electrician but it sounds like those bulbs have a narrow operating voltage range. This may explain why they work fine only on the battery (when engine is off) but flicker when the engine is on (thus the alternator is sourcing electricity too). I believe the bulbs you have are at fault so maybe try a different set of LED bulbs from another brand. What kind are you currently using?
