Hi,
I'm planning to put some led lights (morimoto 2stroke 2.0) and I was reading that I'll need to use an antiflicker harness that I'm planning to buy too.
My question is regarding the daylights because I read that the antiflicker device works only on the pulse type daylights not if they are low voltage, does anyone knows what type of daylights we have? (2011 KK)
Also if anyone have installed this lights or similar ones how they work?
TIA

I’m not sure. The headlights are pulse to lower power consumption and extend bulb life they say. The head lights and fog lights need them. I would assume running light need them. The ones I got was just a plug in capacitor built into a harness. Or you do need them they aren’t a big deal to add.

Just FYI I am running LED fogs from GTR Lighting on my 08 and there is no flicker.

The Hikari LEDs work fine without resisters and do not fliker.

I would not ever use resisters in the circuit. I tried them in a VW trying to get fog lights working correctly when the high beams come on, and the resisters burned fusable links in the fog light wiring. Use the Hikari LEDs. Amazon carries them.

The guy at the LED shop explained me that all vehicles in Canada has to have mandatory daylight and in the KK is done by pulse. So the daylights are always going to flicker. He recomend me to use HID with the mopar harness to trick the computer. I haven't changed my bulbs yet.

My leds had flicker and put in a anti flicker device. There is no flicker now. I would think it would work with daylight running lights. The regular headlights in the us are run through the can bus that pulses the headlights.
