Default Truck lites passanger side flicking

Had my truck lites for some time now and the passenger side started flicking again I don't know what can this be because I have the anti flick with the lites


If I can't fix this I think I will have to give up on truck lites this is the second time this happen to me


The first time I fix it by removing connection and clean them also I use electrical grease now I did the same and did not work still flicking what can I do now ?

I wish I had the solution, but I do share in the same problem. Currently deployed and my wife actually put the old headlights back in because they kept flickering. So, I am interested in the solution also.

It might be a bad headlight. I had the same problem. One kept flickering. Tried adding dielectric grease, and it fixed for a little bit. Came back. I tried swapping the anti flicker module to see if it was the module, same side still flickered. Finally, I called trucklite and had them replace it. Problem solved, no more flicker.

Don't get me started with this. I received a pair as a gift from a friend who had sold her jeep. Installed them. One kept flickering no matter what side I put it on or what plug I used. $100 I spent trying different abut flicker devises. Went round and round with truck lite about it and all they did was put a tech guy on the phone who said, "yeah sounds like a bad light." So I then get an email from their illustrious customer service saying "since you didn't actually buy them we can't do anything for you." That was the end of my dealings with truck lite. You would think a company as big as they are, who pride themselves on customer service would say just send it back to us and we will replace it for you. Nope didn't happen.
Three weeks of dealing with those jokers about their lights. Thanks for getting me fired up again. I thought I was over it.

the feint flicker, if you want to call it that, isnt' an issue for many of us. Having said that, I did have one that would completely flicker off and stay off. It was still under the 3 year warranty so they replaced it no questions asked.


If you're concerned about long time use past 3 years, fork the extra cash for the JW Speakers with the lifetime warranty.

So did your friend buy the lights? If so, why didn't she use her warranty? If not, then you're the third owner.

I had the same issue. Contacted customer service and they said add dielectric grease as well as zip tie the connections together and if the issue continued to send them back and they would replace them. Since I zip tied them I haven't had any issues

Go to jeep and have sales code 5sx quad led lights added to your jeep. It tells the tipm to change the way it supplies power to the headlights. Comes from when Mopar resold jw speaker lights as Mopar. Had this added some time ago. No anti flicker harness and no flicker.
