Default Dome Light bright when switched to Door, but not bright when switched to On, flickers

So here's the situation
  1. Switching it to "Door", it will be satisfactorily bright
  2. Switching it to "On", it won't be nearly as bright, and flickers on and off
It's not just the bulb, I tried 2 different style LED bulbs, and the regular bulb..same problem.

It's a 1998 Honda Civic CX Hatchback if that matters.

It sounds to me that it is going to be the "wear" on the switch that gives you a choice of (on,door,off)

sounds like a wire issue. Check connections for possible wear/corrosion. I had a similar problem and it was a worn out wire that was barley in tact.
