Did you notice the LED DRL of the Scirocco R in this video keep flashing?
Is it a feature or a defect?

probably just the frequency of the leds combined with the frame rate on the camera

I don't think LED in car is like bulb or fluorescent tube in AC current that will go on and off at high freqency.
Electrical experts please head up!

LEDs do flicker on and off very quickly. Try moving a LED source about quickly and you will get a strobe effect.

Car electrical systems are DC. Not AC. Look at any youtube video with a car with LED lights and you'll see them flashing. As the previous poster mentioned its due to the frame rate of the camera.

Pity its not something you can turn on, I'm sure people would get out of your way if you bright blue DRL were flashing
