Intermittent LED Reverse Lights

I installed some LED reverse light I bought from a vendor on here, forget who it was. And they don't always come on when I put the truck in reverse, but sometimes if I jiggle the shifter and put it back in neutral then reverse they'll flicker on but don't always stay on. Anyone know what's going on here?

 

If they're flickering and not always lighting up, your first step should definitely be to make sure the bulbs are securely seated.

As a long shot - would your regular bulbs give this kind of behaviour if they were dead/dying and the vehicle thought that was the case? If so, you need a resistor to go with your new LEDs to prevent that behaviour.

It's more likely, though, that something's loose or not making proper fitment with the electrical contacts.

No old bulbs always came on no problemo. Where is the switch for the reverse light located?

 

Not sure about the location of the switch for you, but if your old bulbs just Worked and the new ones are giving you trouble, you should probably contact the vendor you purchased them from - they may have other suggestions or warranty support.
