Dash light issue

Ok so I put LEDs in my dash well they keep flickering and it drivin me nuts they were fine for a couple months and they stay solid most of the time when I start the truck but when I put it in drive they start flickering again any ideas I bent the little tabs on the holders so they were deff touching I did notice my alternator will squeak when I start the truck when it's cold not sure if that's the problem or not.

Sounds like a bad connection from here too. LED's will flicker from a bad connection or low power source.

Did you soldier the contacts? If not, go buy a soldiering tool. That will ensure your connections never come apart unintentionally.
