    A person who purchase a Spada from me years ago returned it after 7,000 kms and an accident for a bit of repair work tuning ect. No big issues except they have installed a led headlight bulb and fiddled a bit with the wiring.. The instrument lights now suffer from a very pronounced intermittent flashing.. even with the headlight globe removed the flickering continues. The headlight switch was disabled by the importer and is in a permanently on position. I have checked all connectors/ earths.. nothing seems to cure it,,pulled instruments apart, checked terminals etc.. anyone have any ideas?

    I'm guessing that the LED dash lamp has a bad resistor and it's about to fail soon

    Yep , when LEDs start to fail , they flicker ... Id say they have put some cheap Chinas in the dash as well
