I just popped in new led dome lights that I got from Northridge and they continuously blink. Both sets blink so I don't think it's a bad bulb. Am I missing something here? Should just pop out the old and put the LEDs in correct? Any help is appreciated.

Someone has to have an idea about this???

Try flipping the bulbs around. Usually leds don't work at all if u put them in backwards but it's worth a try. If not I'd get my money back and get them off eBay where u can buy 20 bulbs for like 5 bucks. Just search led replacement bulbs and they all come up

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and see. If not I'll give Northridge a call tomorrow.

Quite welcome! Cuz I've never heard of domes flickering like that. I got other EXTERIOR bulbs that needed resistors so they didn't flicker but def not my domes

That didn't work. It's really weird. When you manually turn lights on they blink. But when activate lights by either opening door or unlocking with remote they stay on with out blinking.

I have a similiar issue with my LED dome lights when i try to manually turn them on, they dont blink but are extremely dim and only work when opening the door or unlocking with a remote. Never had this issue with the stock dome lights, seems to be something with the LEDs

Ordered the same ones from northridge for my 13. My map lights stay on which Dave said they would (I used electrical tape and taped them). My rear dome light burned out after two days, not happy about it!

It probably has something to do with the dimmer on the circuit.. LEDs need to be dimmed differently than regular bulbs what your seeing is prob a result of the dimmer not having enough load kind of how you can't do a direct swap on turn signals because they require the load to trigger the flash.., throw in a resistor and your should be fine.

The map light stays on? That's crap. I'll call Northridge next week after the holidays and see what's going on.
