    Flickering Dome Lights - Rear Only

    So my daughter pointed out to me that the rear dome lights in my new S4 flicker constantly. The fronts are just fine. I imagine I should just take it to the dealer since it's still under warranty, but has anyone had a similar experience?

    It is probably just a loose connection.

    I would inspect it myself before I took it into the dealer.

    Page 10 of this install guide shows you how to pull the cover off.

    Just an FYI, LED interior kit is 100000% worth it.

    Yeah, I should do an LED kit. I have DDM Tuning LED lights in my Subaru and they're located about 10 minutes from home...

    Well I never had flickering dome light issues until I retrofitted LED bulbs, but in my case it seems to be a problem only when they are running on just the battery power (i.e. car turned off). With the car in the on or start modes, no flickering issues present. Just beware that it may be an issue in some circumstances should you choose to go for an interior LED kit.

    I took the car by DDM Tuning and as suspected, the lighting is already LED. Sales rep though they might be bad bulbs and as new ones were inexpensive, I picked up two more to try them out. Hopefully I'll get a chance to install them tomorrow. Spent way too long trying to gently get the S4 badge out of the grill for fear of breaking something before giving up for the night, lol. At least I got the V6T badges replaced with Supercharged badges though!
