Most likely failed AE, what a surprise... :/ Strobbing as bad connection could happen, never seen/heard tho. I've heard of a few inverter dying however causing flashing led as if the current wasn't sufficient. Best way to test is to take the good-headlight led inverter and try it on the right(bad) side.

You need to file warranty claims man. Send me a pm if you plan on replacing the whole led assembly.. if you got the time (I have something like 200 pairs of those left here.. pls take them all lolll)

The LED string appears to be fine. I don't run them with the headlights on (thanks Particlewave for the relay circuit) The DC to DC stepdown transformer (12 to 9.75 VDC) seems to be crapping out. I just bought 10 of them on EBAY for $10. Good for 2A which is way more than needed.

I have been looking through this thread with interest and am interested in updating my 986S.

Please let me know how much and when the next batch is expected.

You are doing a fantastic job of keeping 986s looking modern.
