I've got the same on both sides! Annoying as sometimes they work fine! Cheap bulbs is my guess?

Its because the car checks the circuit as soon as you turn on the ignition,  a normal bulb don't pick up the 3 pulses the car checks with leds will show these tiny pulses, this is normal and there is nothing wrong
Loads of extra's and retro fits.

Well not stay on for weeks without switching off, they come on without flickering for a few weeks then go back to flickering! That make sense?  :rolleye:
