Random and intermittent flickering of LED licence plate light
I am noticing this on my 2014 C7 Z51 M7 with 19k miles. Has anyone here experienced something similar to this? To me it sounds like a loose connection in the rear facia as LED lights either work or don't - they are not supposed to flicker randomly.
Wanted to ask here to fellow Forum members to see if this requires a dealer visit - I try to avoid going to the dealer as much as I can as they are "always too busy" and I have to always leave my car there for a couple of days...

Those just pop out. It's pretty easy to check if it's maybe a loose connection. If they're the OEM bulbs, they're not led. If you want to change them to led, you need T10 bulbs.

I will keep my eye on it, hopefully it was just a loose LED bulb to the connection.
Thanks for the reply!

Can you describe the symptoms you're actually seeing as "flicker"? When captured on a digital video, and sometimes when you move your eyes or head very quickly, you can see a very rapid brightening and dimming of LED bulbs. If that's what you're noticing, it's probably nothing to worry about.
Here's an example of what I mean:
