not at the moment. unplug your working light and find ground. you should have power on one,none on one, and ground on the other

well the last time i had a problem like this where my tail lamp and interior lamp would flicker and then don't work. i replace the S.M.J. solve all the problem. it is located in your steering wheel. if you can get a hand on one to try do so. good luck.
