I have a wierd thing happening, just installed interior leds (5led bulbs) and everything is great exept after all doors closed or if you manually turn off lights they still be on just a little to still see light. lets say maybe 5% brightness.

Can you guys who have them check if you have this same issue. I am just thinking if I dont drive in a few days they may kill my batt.

please let me know.

You either need a load resistor or what many have done is keep a std bulb in the rear hatch. It only seems to work from back there. You can even get a cheap xenon looking regular bulb.

its because the LEDs dont draw enough power.

Heres another htread same topic.

no, they will go completely off after 30 minutes or so. Mine have been like that since intall 6 months ago and I have had no battery issues. I like the mild glow that they have while driving at night.
