So I got a set of Hikari Ultra 9012 bulbs to put in my mother’s 2019 QX30. I tested them on a 12v source at home and they worked fine. I took off the wheels to have better access to the stock bulb.
After getting the drivers side LED in, I tested it and it flickered! I removed the LED and plugged in the other LED without putting it in the housing and got nothing. The bulbs cooling fan didn’t even spin.
I gave up and plugged the stock bulb back into the harness, but not into the housing and it didn’t light up. Once I put the bulb back into the housing, it worked Fine!!!
Based on my trials and errors, I’m thinking I need an anti-flicker module? But the fact that the stock bulb only lit up when seated into the housing had me puzzled. It might be a far out assumption, but Is there some sensor in the housing that detects if a bulb is in place?
