Anybody having problems with LEDS?
My liscene plate LED went out twice on me. It would start to flicker then die. Also my door LED is flickering like crazy.
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
My license plate gave me some issues but ended up being a bad connection. One thing I have noticed is my dome lights, if I leave them so that when the doors open they turn on, when the doors are closed and I am driving they are still very dimly lit. You get that?
but the only time my led's flicker is at startup other then that they are just solid.

Another guy down in So Cal had the same flickering problem with the door LEDs, it turned out that the connector prongs that hold the LEDs in place was bend so it wasn't making solid contact with the LED. Check the connector and maybe bend it a little with pliers.
Dome LEDs might stay dimly lit when it's supposed to be off because they have very little load and only require very little current, which is always present in the wiring, to stay on. The original filament bulb was a heavier load and required more current to stay lit. You can try using more LED or something of a bigger load to fix the problem. But it's not really a "problem".

I am having the same problem, in both puddle lights on the doors. I removed them, and now everythings fine. I guess they don't like it when you turn them off and on? The LED's in my vanity mirrors and map lights seem to be fine though.
out of the 5WLED, only 1 or two LED's flicker.

some, like me, don't like the look of leds for interior light. i looks very artificial and harsh. it looks nice on the exterior, but for me, putting leds on the interior would be like replacing all the lights in my house to tube flourescent bulbs.
I tried taking the bulb out and re-seating them but it's still flickering. I think I might try iJDM as well.
had the 5WLED on both my 09 and 08 with zero issues. However i did notice that one led in my 12 led map lights burned out. only noticed it cuz i took it out to show a friend what i did.
Vleds 
Superbrightleds suck and will flicker out on you.
Every month I had to replace one... not Vleds.

Looks better then the superbrightleds lights up brighter too.
