Flickering LED Parkers

Hi guys,
I've noticed that my parkers seem to be flickering abit during use, usually i'd just go ahead and replace them but these are brand new from Leo.
The weird thing is, if the car is off and I turn the parkers on (via Parker switch on steering column) the parkers work fine and don't flicker.
However with the engine running the parkers don't seem to run at max output and they also seem to constant flicker (e.g. one or more of the diodes on the multi LED bulb go between on and off).
Any thoughts?

Is this both parkers at the same time?

Send Leo a message. They are just faulty from my experience. I've had a set of parkers from him die already.

They seem to alternate at their own will. Some nights it'll be the right one, some nights left.
It's just weird how they don't flicker when the car is off, only when it's running.
Maybe I'll try a pair of philips for comparison

Take out the parkers and inspect them, look for discolouration of the SMD's / melting.

Thanks for the quick responses everyone !
I'll pop these out for pics as soon as I get a chance (most likely when new ones arrive), while I'm at it, I'll probably give the contacts a quick clean as well in case that was the issue.
- Leo -> Thanks for your quick response, I've replied.
Will keep everyone updated on how the new ones go !
