Light flickering?
Just noticed one the license plate lights is flickering, I guess it’s a bad bub or is it a led?

Anyone know the part number?

It’s a 2023.

If it's a 2023 and you're near your dealer, stop by the service department. You shouldn't have a flickering light on a brand new truck that's under warranty. Let them figure out if it's just a bulb or something worse.

The license plate bulb is a 168 I believe.

Something worse? Should I be worried, it’s not brand new bought it out of state but pretty much new.

Bulb info should be in the owners manual. You might want to check that the bulb is seated correctly. Also, you could swap bulbs to see if the problem moves to the other side. Don't swap any bulbs, or do any other work without disconnecting the battery first. Or, let the dealer handle it under warranty.

It's in the manual but it just says 5 watts type b so i wonder if it's led.

Nope, they are just standard halogen bulbs. I just changed mine to LED.

if it's just one bulb then it's probably a bad bulb I think they are the standard wedge bulbs 5W you can get anywhere. 14v or 12v either work. the license plate lenses are fairly easy to remove you can swap the bulb and check. also while you are at it swap the crappy lense screws with stainless ones because I assure you the OEM screws will rust and you will have a bad day trying to remove them when your bulbs die
