I have two Hella LED driving lights of the "Spot" (pencil beam) persuasion which I used sparingly and when alone o the highway. They are a great aid when compelled top drive after dark. I purchased these from a reputable 4x4 shop in Santo Domingo and they did the installation, which proved faulty when, first, the used Volvo light switch that they used crumbled and secondly and more importantly, when they began to flicker rapidly whenever used. The flicker is strong and rapid enough to render the lights practically useless. Certainly these very expensive Hella lights are no longer an aid to driving at night.
While not a technician, I suspect that the LED lights do not generate sufficient resistance in the circuit and the vehicle's power-management system is somehow confused in consequence. The original vendor is seemingly not interested in solving my problem and Hella is absolutely non-responsive to any questions I have submitted in every Hella venue that I can find on the Internet.
Almost certainly resolving this flickering LED condition is not rocket science--but it's science or technology beyond my own capacity.
Can anyone point me to a competent person who can diagnose and resolve this problem? I will happily take the vehicle to their shop anywhere, any time.
