So I just put a Cyclops LED in my 97 SX. Nice and bright and very white. Just sitting in the garage I think its brighter then my 02 SRX. The problem is when the high beam is on the light pulses at a very high frequency. Its a steady frequency almost as if it pulses every time the flywheel passes a magnet. If I unplug the big black resistor (smoothining coil) the light is rock solid. Could the resistor be bad or is the LED that sensitive to that frequency.

Did you get the plug and play one with its own ballest ect? I don't have experience with these on the old ignition system but run rocks LED's on a viper with no issues. You may need the rectifier to help smooth out the power with the old system? The stator runs the lights with AC and those LED's need DC. The rectifier will convert and smooth out the power. Just a guess.

I used the rectifier. Does the Viper use the smoothining coil?
stock vipers do have two smoothing coils, the
ER uses the battery in place of coils.
Never noticed if the headlight runs ac. Thought it was converted to dc by that point.
what does your tach do? I wonder if what is firing you led is pulsing at a different frequency as the smoothing coil is designed to absorb. If you look on the coil, it has a rating on it.

The tach works steady as a rock. I will look at the coil. The headlight 0n a 97 is A/C, I bought the rectifier from Cyclops. I will look at the coil.

The numbers on the coil are ADP-9 and 7.5
