RCP - H4(9003)- LED Headlights drl flickering

Installed these on my 2002 civic dx, they work fine when turned on, and on high beam but when i turn them off i noticed the daytime running lights flicker constantly (they never did that for about 2 weeks). Not a huge deal but is there a fix for this or is it just the way they work in these older cars? The led's came with the extra connection wire/unit that's supposed to provide the correct voltage that goes between the actual light and the harness on the car on each side.

May need to get a different canbus adapter

DRL works by linking the lights so that they only get 6volts each. If it worked for few weeks fine and then started to flicker it sounds like the power supply for the led has failed.

What did RCP say when you contacted them?
