Number plate LED flickering.

(1/3) > >>

AndyBrown:
Swapped my number plate bulbs for LED a few months back and one of them has started flickering.

Thing is its only once the cars stopped and the engine isn't running.

When I lock it and the lights stay on it does it, fine when the cars running tho.

Any ideas?

Thanks 

DamoP:
where are the bulbs from?

AndyBrown:
A member off here called Matt, not sure of his username.
He was selling the full kit for interior.

Same thing is happening to me.  :ashamed:

Same happens to mine and the footwell lights. Was an error free canbus interior led kit.

Seems to be common enough, although mine only flicker when the light sensor detects night, the light switch is on auto and I start the ignition.

If your bulb is flickering during standard use then I'd say the metal strips either side holding it in place are loose so a bump in the road disconnects it temporarily causing it to come loose and turn off temporarily.

Take it out and check it's a snug fit.
