    I bought a pro grille with raptor lights from mc auto parts about a month ago. Today I noticed the middle one was flickering. Luckily I like the 3 raptor light look and saved the 4th one. I plugged the extra one in and it works good as new. I’m wondering if anyone know what could’ve caused this?

    I know what you mean but I love the look of the raptor lights, if it happens again I might have no choice.
