Default Flickering Tail Light Raptor

Anyone ever have a flickering rear tail light? It seems to flicker randomly while idling or running. It turns on correctly with the lights on and the rear brakes applied. I removed the spring to let the pulling mechanism go up fully and it still flickered.

Sometimes I think that it flickers more with more RPM, but it is hard to tell right now.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
