please advise: vanity LED flickering issue

I just changed out the regular lights for LED lights and noticed that the vanity light (light located above the sun visor) flickers when the car is not on. After turning the car on for about 5 seconds the flickering goes away. Here are my questions...

1. why does it do this?
2. is there is easy solution to fixing this?
3. thank you in advance for your assistance.

I don't know from personal experience, but have read about this before. Perhaps check out this thread and see if it applies to your situation.

I'm guessing you went with an aftermarket LED bulb?

I've got 1 or 2 pairs of canbus LED vanity lights that do not flicker left over from the group buy last year.

If you pay the shipping you can have them.
