problem when changing interior bulbs

Post by brad mole »

last night i was changing the bulbs behind the sun visers, i done the first one and when i got to the second one i popped it out and all the interior bulbs on the ceiling went dimmed, and now they flicker and sometimes dont come on, someone please tell me this is just a fuse of something, i dont think i have pulled any wires out

Are you fitting leds? Try replacing one of the bulbs and see if it still flickers

Is it just one of the bulbs are all of them that are not working? Could be a loose wire in the connector

the two sidelight ones in the centre stay on, but im sure they are dimmer than usual, and the other one in the middle is completely off, the ones behind the sun visers come on and off when they like, but are definitly dimmer than usual
