Default Dash lighting flicker?

Not sure if I'm being over paranoid but I noticed the other night that my dash lighting was very faintly flickering, the high beam indicator in particular. Anything to be concerned about? Is this a sign the bulb is about to burn out?

Kay, happened to me once after rain got in car. All ok by next day. Does this occur when you use turn signal stalk?

I didn't notice but it was raining out when it happened. Where exactly did the rain get in on yours?

I left the passenger window open about 2 inches, then a huge thunderstorm hit us. Who would have thought much rain could get in that small opening right? Wrong . I couldn't spot the exact point of entry behind the dash but that's what happened.

I had asked about the turn signal because sometimes the wires under that come lose.
