Question Front Turn Signal LED Switchback Replacements

What type of switchback LEDs is everyone using to replace the stock bulbs for their front Turn Signal/Parking lights? I bought a set of these from SuperBrightLEDs.com:

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...car/1917/4477/

Sometimes the parking light mode flickers like a disco ball. I've noticed in the reflection from vehicles in front of me at stop lights that sometimes when the truck restarts at a light, they go into strobe light mode for a while right after the truck restarts. Other times they stay on solid like they should. Sometimes just when the truck is running with the lights on they strobe, and other times they don't.

Is this an issue with the type of bulbs I bought? Or are others seeing this with other brands?

Thanks!

No issues, fit good and work as expected.

I bought the Diode Dynamics switchbacks. Not the cheapest, but they work great. I will say the white is very bright... actually gives a bit of perimeter/ditch lighting.

I went with putco in my 17 etc, had to add the resistor. But like tvsjr they are very bright match my LED heads perfect and my diode dynamics xml2 as well.
