Help with LED interior lights...

Well, its not that bad.

I changed out my all my interior lights (maps, front doors and rear domes).

Easy peasy.

Looks sick..love it.

One minor problem. It looks like my lights are still on a teeny tiny bit after they are off. On a scale of 1-100, 100 being full on, the lights look like there are on a 2 when the car is off, doors shut..etc.

I did notice this with an LED Home Use bulb a few months ago. With the light off it shined a tiny bit..almost like since the bulb uses such low power that the smallest amount of current is able to keep it on.


Any ideas?

It is completely normal. The power consumption is minimal.

How can it stay on, even a little bit, if the switch is in an open position?

Interesting...

Update....well....I looked after 30 mins or so and they were off. Then my buddy came over and I showed him the lights and looked again after I locked the car and they did it again.

What i think is happening is just some residual power is left over and is enough to keep them on in this super super low state until the power is used up.

Think of unplugging a power pack that has an LED on it and it might stay on and then dim away as the power drains.
