Just to rule out the door switches reach up under the dash and take it for a ride to see if flashing stops.

i took the glovebox out today and followed the wire from the passenger side, it runs through a really small hole behind the cupholder with a couple other wire bundles, and the wire bundles were all ontop of each other and caught, i pulled them free and put more bulbs in my dome and courtesy lights, both regular and led bulbs, we'll see tonight on my way home from work if it flickers

I can guarantee what it is...LEDs (often times) don't usually have the "one way diodes" because of the low amount of power they're using BUT some are just finiky like that.Search LED Diode it'll go inline the + side to prevent voltage from leading back into the circuit.If I am wrong (it's happened before) you'll need to either-run a new ground for the domeOr it's the switches.

its not that, because i had regular bulbs in until now, i put both types just to test it, i drove to work, and back, and rode around for a while, even mashed on it to see if its still throttle sensitive, no flickers yet, they're funtioning fine for now, ill give it another week or so, if it stopped ill order full leds, with the clear dome light cover

personaly, i kinda liked the disco strobe light effect. however, i can understand it would mess with driving at night....

 

[gmcz71]
