Reverse light flickering when car is on.
When I turn on my car the reverse lights on my Valenti 4th light flicker I've checked the connections and everything seems okay when the car is off. When I turn on the engine the reverse lights flicker. Any idea what could be causing this?

Sounds like a connection problem to me. Do you have a separate ground for the light? Is the reverse light flickering without the car in reverse? Try unplugging and replugging the connector

Yeah the light is flickering when it's just in neutral. I've unplugged and re-plugged it back in and made sure it's snug. It's just using the regular connection for the reverse light and it's hooked up to the tail for the running light and brake but those aren't causing the problem as I've disconnected that tail light and it still flickers. If I disconnect the reverse plug it'll go off but leave me with no light at all.

Never mind I figured it out. Apparently switching to LED made it think the light bulb was out due to the lower resistance. Adding in a resister fixed the problem.
