I have mine wired directly to the oem harness and even with canceler capacitors they will still flicker randomly. I would wire them to a separate switch, but if you want to keep the stock switch use a relay with the stock harness as the trigger.

Are you using them as fog light replacements?

I use them as off road lights, the stock harness is temporary until I run new wires.

We've seen flickering when installed on the OEM harness/switch. It is completely possible and safe for your JK however. My suggestion is to try it and see if you can tolerate the minor flickering. If not, use the supplied Rigid harness and wire directly to your battery or go to an sPOD.
