Is this normal? (Flickering Map light)

I noticed in my 18 Pro that when I depress the traction control button, i see the map light flicker. I did install LED map lights so I think that makes it more noticeable but I'm not sure if it's actually the map light itself or something else.

Anyone else notice this?

 

I bet the connection is just loose. Make sure the LED is seated firmly in place.

 

True. I might just take it out and see if anything else flickers and maybe just replace the LED. I have spares.

 

LED interior lighting kits are notoriously known to burn out and flicker with short operating life. Mine did in less than a year. Seems most the kits you buy are TERRIBLE quality and waste of time and money.

 

I too replaced mine with LED's and have noticed every once in awhile flicker with the doors being locked.

 

Really? I think I've had 2 out of 40 go bad over many years. Maybe this one is #3.

 

Yup! One map, one cosmetic, the rear map, and a license plate light all under 1 year. I put the halogens in and have been much happier. Kind of one of those purchases I wish I hadn't done. It makes zero difference to me and I can still find all my stuff in the cab. Definitely doesn't look as good as LED but I could care less. IMO Save yourself aggravation and leave the stock halogens in, otherwise actually upgrade with quality products like @mesojdm creates.

 

I would but he's sold out.

 

Persevere and pay attention to his threads if LED upgrades are super important to you and you MUST HAVE MOAR LIGHT. They are badass.
