My LED halo are flickering

Hi guys . I recently bought cree led for my 130i to change from yellow to white
But now i have noticed when i start the car it flickers a few times then stops.
Should i be worried about this and take them out or not to worry about it.
Has any one else had the same issue. Thanks

This is generally normal at startup and nothing to worry about. My angel eyes do it too.

Simple explanation - At startup the car 'pulses' all the lights to check if there are any faulty bulbs to signal an error code. On a halogen bulb the pulse is generally not noticeable but if running more efficient LED bulbs then the pulse can be seen as a few quick flashes.
