fyi the monarch and elite (same) led puddle lights are **** .
I had my car almost burn down because of the crap connections in them.
I daily my car and it see real winter weather so that may have effected there life as well as some of the led's dieing in them so they blinked .
Only problem is no one else makes them that is easy to get but the others that are more expensive look much better . These are cheap led's and the kit should really only cost $30 for what you get.

I had my car door open for 5 minutes while i was working on another car beside it , me and the owner started to smell smoke then see it inside his car and we were checking everything then come to realize it was from my car instead . So i ran over and raised ti and tried to trace it down thinking it was part of the harness over the wheel then something clicked it might be the lights so i disconnected it and it finally stopped. its too cold for me to waste time to find what went wrong since i will have to replace them i will wait until i get a new set first .
BC also does not use salt the way Toronto does for snow which will compound any wiring issues causing shorts .
The flickering is single led's inside the housing , so not the whole light was flickering , so it is an internal to the light issue that cannot be fixed or prevented.
They are just cheap led's which are worth maybe $2 a piece if that as they are only bright because they face the ground 2 inches away .
