Flickering dome lights
I decided to do the dome light swap about a year ago, Stock, the truck came with one 921 bulb. After the new modification it takes 2 of them.
I rewired the unit to feed off the dome light switch behind my dash (was fun). But I've noticed that if I leave it on for a little while they occasionally flicker, not much but I noticed it.
So I swapped to LEDs because I thought it might be a load issue, but the darn LEDs just are not bright enough for me.
What would you suggest I do to fix this, or is it safe to leave as is? I did put an inline fuse just in case it was to short.
Thanks!

I did just as the usual wiring, cept color codes are different, I know I wired it correctly
I'm thinking the ground isn't too good. I had to relocate it into the new dome light when I swapped them out.
