C55 liscense plate light issues.
hey all i searched around for a bit and didnt find a solution for this issue, usually id go more into depth but i gotta leave for the airport so im gonna shoot it out and hope one of you knows the solution to this issue. my left licsense plate lamp was out and the car told me all that great stuff. well i go to advance they look in their computer and get the replacement bulb. looks exactly the same as the burnt out one i replace. well put it in all thats smooth and now it blinks on and off as if by sequence and i tried hitting around seeing if it was a loose wire but it keeps on with its set pattern. so i just stopped there and figure ill continue t/s it when i return home from business but in the meantime if any of you experianced this or know why its doing it it be a big help and give me a better launching point for when i get home next week. thanks again

I had this happen with my led bulbs because they didn't have the correct wattage or voltage. They eod blink erratically and then turn off. You may have gotten the wrong bulbs.
