Hey all,
One of my map lights won't work. I mean it works, but dimly. Sometimes it works 100%, but that's like 13% of the time. I've tried a different LED, but it seems to be just this light. Any idea's?

could be just a bad bulb maybe replace it or theres a bad connection

might be a bad connection at the edges of the bulbs. try bending them in slightly with the bulb still in the fixture and see if that fixes the problem. i had a similar issue and that resolved it.

take a volt meter and compare the voltage you're getting on both sides?

Mine works when i open my door most of the time but if its closed its like 10%
