Default LED dome/map lights

I replaced the interior lights(2 front maps and dome) with LED's in my Camaro. Now I get weirdness. When all the lights shut off inside, the passenger's side map light stays on just a tiny bit. It's barely on, I mean you can not see it in daylight. Also, when all of the lights are off and I turn on the passengers map light, the dome light turns on just a bit.

So, I can eather remove the passenger's side LED or just let it be, and stay on just a bit.

I also checked it with a amp clamp and their is no draw what so ever.

These are the bulbs I used, they look real nice and bright.

Those are the bulbs I used... I am yet to fix myn...

When I installed them, somehow it killed power to all of my dome lights. None of my dome lights work anymore.. im soo mad and its not the fuse.. im completely lost on why this happened.

Mine does the same thing for the map lights (but not the same bulbs that you have). In fact I have to replace both leds for the second time, le sigh.

This is why I prefer to make the stuff. Try putting a 560ohm resistor on the power wire

Well, it somehow fixed itself. No LED's come on when they should be off. Yet everyone of them work when they should, like when the doors are open.

Strange. . . . .
