I installed LED headlights bulbs on my 35 Pickup. (Someone had installed sealbeams) And the LED's work great, but sometimes they will start blinking like a strob light. The car still has the original 6 volt generator with Positive ground. The LED's are for positive ground and 6 volt. Has anyone had this problem and if so, what fixed it. thanks, Jerry

I suspect that you have defective bulb or bulbs. I have had that problem with the bulbs in my house. Tom

Suggest you keep the bulb plugged in and monitor the voltage to the bulb with the lights on using an analog voltmeter looking for low voltage maybe a poor ground.

For the life of me I can't understand why the need to change from sealed beam head lights to LED or halogen. I know the sealed beams don't have the 'bug-eyed' look of reflector lights, however the lens prism's of the 35-39 lens do not direct the LED/Halogen light properly, therefore the road illumination is greatly reduced.
