R&G light provided with a Tail Tidy?

Mine started doing it ages ago - have tried to remove it and cant - will need to get a replacement THEN cut this one off...

So basically if it is then, "They all do that Sir"

do they need a different voltage? or can they be wired straight in? my stock plate bulb plugs in and works no problems.

Gotta be a wiring thing if the leds are ok. Check and clean the connections and see how that does you.

A fella down here once had his led indicators tinkling whilst polishing the bike with pledge just from the static!

Kwak, are you sure it's not shorting out somewhere along the line? I'd be inclined to check the whole line of wiring for the light. The wire may have been chafing against something, and now the bare wire is intermitently earthing itself against the frame/metal causing it to flicker.

This advice might be a whole-lotta-bull, but you never know
