I had to shop around a LOT before I could find LED headlight bulbs with just a fan and a bare-ass resistor for current control so I wouldn't see that forsaken flicker.

It's really bad for me as I work in an LED and LASER facility. I handle ALL the PWM stuff while everyone else handles the simple led/resistor/connector board assemblies. EVERYTHING FLICKERS.



My thanks to you for shopping around for non-shit headlights. For a long, long while it seems like every third car had strobing headlights. (Now, the primary problem is INTENSELY bright and poorly-aimed headlights. I'm not sure which is worse, to be honest... but both SHOULD be super illegal.)

> EVERYTHING FLICKERS.

I absolutely could not handle that. My sincerest condolences.
