    I put some Amazon map light LEDs in some time back. They sort of flicker at times while on. It almost seems like the ones on the dome light are fine...just the maps by the rear view do this. Anyone else have this problem before I go buy a more expensive set?

    Same problem, but I bought directly from a vendor that advertises on the forum. Driving me crazy, ready to go back to the 'normal' lights.

    I bought like a 10 pack and they all do it. Even turned the bulb 180 degrees. I'll just buy more expensive ones if we survive the damn corona

    Its because of the dimming feature on our trucks. I had some that flickered and some that don't, I think its hit or miss. Yet higher quality should work better.

    I had the fyreflies leds in them and only 1 flickers. Switch that bulb to the rear (sequoia) and no nore issue since. The lastfit bulbs also works great.

    Anyone tried Sylvania bulbs for this? My map dome light also flickers, always the passenger side, tried changing the bulb, but I do think its just because they're cheap Amazon bulbs.
