    Hi all,

    I wired up some rock lights using a ch4x4 switch and a relay. But 3 out of 4 lights flicker. I cant figure out why. Does anyone have any idea?

    ^ Most likely.
    Possibly the wiring to that one light is screwed up though.

    I think 3 out of 4 lights i purchased are bad.
    I took out the wire harness and ran the lights straight from the battery and they still flickered

    Shit I misread as three out of four were good.
    You did the best type of diag, if you jump power and ground to the load and the faults still present it's the load, (light/horn/pump/ect)
    Are they cheap lights? I had luck with cree lights from ebay, worked for the year I had them till I sold the truck, need to buy them again for current truck.
