Odd lighting problem

So I replaced my map lights with LEDs. All good but when I move my drivers side window it flickers. Only the drivers side. Any ideas?

electrical backfeed.. mine does this as well. Our leds dont take a whole lot to turn on.. so any small current back fed from a motor or coil will be noticeably used in the leds. the same happens with regular lights..but its so small and lightning quick that you wont see it.

I notice the same thing here. Just a slight flicker though.

Mine also has a slight flicker when I hit the window switch.

Re: Odd lighting problem

I prefer to think of it as a random hello from my LEDs during the day time to let me know they still work lol

I have green LEDs for all of the interior lights though, so when it happens it's very slight.
