Only weird thing I've ever experienced with them is if you put the dome switch to off, they still glow a little. I've never had the issue you are having. Is the 9LED festoon polarized? Could be that you have it in backwards if they are polarized.

Make sure the one not coming on is in correctly. They must go in one way, switch it around.

got mine yesterday installed them, no flickering yet, but did notice that they are a light blue color vs the dark blue that tec-toyz sells.

think I like the tec-toyz 4 led's better due to the darker blue matches better witht he blue lights already in our cars.
