I tried the Cree LED Oslamp in my 2015 Yaris and yes there was some slight flickering. The LED headlights are very redundant. The LED lights I bought were 940 watt per pair and they had these motors like fans that would spin to cool down the lights which was not acceptable to me.
The alternator on the Yaris was stressed out from the load and when you switch from low to high beam the lights actually shuts of for a split second because it cant take the amount of power.
This is redundant because LED is low wattage and low voltage but the fans on the LED lights are
what puts such a heavy draw on the system. Yes there was a big improvement in visibility but it wont be at the expense of my alternator. These LED headlights need more R&D to be as efficient as the COB or or SMD LED which dont need motors to run the lights.

IMHO if you want a kick ass bling set of headlights get NOKYA. Get the Artic White 90/100 Halogens. 85 % bright white and 15% blue. They kick ass and will rival the LED headlights.
