License plate LED bulb issue

2004 clk55.
Error free led bulbs for the license plate. Right side works fine however the left side flickers and is off majority of the time.

Tried multiple bulbs same issue.

Does anyone have experience with this and know what the problem may be?

Thanks

I have found a solution, but it's a lot of work so I have postponed my installation (I do have the resistors already). I have placed a link to the thread below.

Good Luck!
