I know that Chris's do the same as well. They don't flicker when he's driving, but do when he stops and takes the key out. His does exactly the same as yours as they stop as soon as the car is locked. His past his MOT on monday fine as well.

yeah man he offers full refund if they flickers and they are made for him and he puts them in little percy bags, so there is no packagin to destroy so if it dont cure the problem just send em back for a full refund.

they are not too bright either, stick them in and angle the LED's to sine directly down and they should bath it in light not shine strong i may have a picture sir
