Sounds like what mine was doing. The LED went bad. The passenger side started acting up first, then the driver side a month later. Replaced both with the part posted above.

Verified after I had the old ones out that it was the LED itself that was bad.

I wish I could fine bare aqua/ice blue LED's. I've bought so many LED's advertised as aqua or ice blue and they don't match what's in our cars. They're either too blue or green.

If you have the old LED can you send me it? As well as anyone else in here haha. Could be just the capacitor going bad! I can replace them!!!

These LED's are really like 3v or something but our output is 12v which would instantly pop the LED so a Cap is placed to lower the voltage.
