So I spent too much money from Headlight Revolution and bought LED replacement DRLs for my halogens. I have the large fenders with DRLs in them. They worked for a few hours. Next they began flickering a few times and then turn off completely after I start the Jeep and disengage the parking brake. I activated them with the Tazer and still the same. So I took them out and put the halogen bulbs back in and now they do it too. Any suggestions?

Put the halogens back in and take it to the dealership and let them look at it. It sounds like there was already some underlying issue in the wiring for the DRL's.

I would guess the tazer program didn't take. Some times you have to do it a few times.

This will happen if the "resistive load" is either too much or too little. The computer thinks you have a short or a bad bulb. Try LED bulbs with NO resistor pack and set your DRL as such. Also make sure you have a good ground. You can test this by temporarily running a wire from the battery to your ground point.

P.S. You have to fix both of them at the same time. Don't try to mix and match.
