City light flickering

Hey everybody,

My city light has been flickering on and off for the past month and it’s really annoying me. It’s an LED bulb that I installed last year. Because it keeps flickering on and off, is it most likely the bulb or a fuse/wiring type of issue? Thanks.

Heres a video of it:

P.S. I don’t know if it’s actually called the city light or daytime running headlights. So correct me if I was wrong.

Why haven't you tried replacing the bulb?

Check the wiring, then the connector if everything is clean and tight replace the bulb! If it works...taaadaa!

If it’s not a high quality bulb (read it was less than $6 a bulb on eBay) it probably is your problem.

Also a small chance in hell that it just has LED Flutter and you need to install a resistor.
