    My license plate bulbs are flickering due to the socket holding the bulbs loosely. How do I go about fixing the issue? Sometimes the bulbs don't turn on because of it and that could be a ticket on me.

    Also, I'm looking to change bulbs in my AC controls and my shifter to LED. Does anyone know the bulb sizes I'll need to buy?

    I'm having the exact same issue right now. It the problem due to moisture (condensation) in the light socket or is it the bulbs? Does anyone recommend good LED license plate bulbs that won't flicker?

    Well bud, I ended up fixing mine.

    Take the bulbs out of the socket. One the end of the bulb there is two tiny prongs. Pry these out slightly and plug the bulbs back in. Good as new. If the problem does persist though talk to JumpersLED, He sells great bulbs for anything you need.
