Default Issues with sequentials

Ok I just installed 2010 style lights with sequentials on my 2005 Mustang GT. When I activate them they may work for a second or two, but then will immediately start to flicker rapidly and the interior clicking noise will speed up as if I have a bulb out. This happens with both sides. I know many of you have sequentials so I am hoping someone might have an idea whats going on. none of the bulbs are out, I have no aftermarket anything on the car. and no check engine lights.

Where did you buy them from?
Webeletctric's are just plug and play. No problem.

You need to make sure you have them plugged in the proper order though as the instructions say.

The SJB of the 05-09 dont a likea LEDs and thinks a bulb is out...
Load resistors at AutoZoner or Pepper Boys....
They simulate old fashion OEM filiment bulbs...
Cheapos? You seem to have got what ya paid for....
Maybe a link to the eBay auction page to see just what

no LEDs. yeah their el cheapos, but it all comes from China regardless of where you buy them. I got replacement resistors in route, its the only part of the harness that could have the flaw.

No, it does not "all come from China"...
Believe it or not, there are still electronics producers here in the good Ol USA.
You just get the China stuff cus you dont wanna pay to play...
eBay abounds with Cheapo China Carp.
