Interior Light Flashses on In Reverse???

Hey guys, really annoying problem - everytime I shift through "R" eg- from park to drive the interior light will flicker on then off again.

no idea why it's doing this. any ideas would be appreciated lol.

Check your globes

globe is an LED. The whole interior light circuit comes on.

I remember seeing a few post on problems when using LED's for interior lights but cannot remember what they said as I haven't installed them (!). However, as a wild guess I'd say check the earth points to the actual reverse light bulbs and also make sure the metal part of the bulb is very shiny and clean and making good contact. I'd also do a search on this forum as like I say, it's been mentioned before. Good Luck.

Ahh it's been mentioned before? I thought it may have had something to do with my interior lighting wiring I've done, but I don't see how that could affect it.. Will check the reverse globes, thanks!
