It's going to blow eventually. Small item easy to fix, do a search.

Loose wire? Bad connection? Mine did that for a couple of days but then then the light completely blew out. Had to get it replaced. It was pretty cheap.

there couldn't be a wiring issue...i haven't messed with anything...all the electronics in the car are fine....radio, lights, guages, etc....everthing works perfectly...just this one small bulb is crazy...lol....well i pulled the bulb out and looked at it...it's kinda got black on it like it would be blown....but it is still working...lol...maybe it just came loose or something....can you only get these bulbs from the dealer?
