6 LED boards installed - glow when off?
I finally got around to installing the complete set of interior Halo 6 LED boards last week,
what a difference
I was happy the the fade to off still works
,
but wondered if others are getting a very dim glow from these when off?
It's actually a cool effect in the car at night.
They are dim enough that they don't really add to ambient lighting & are not a distraction at all.
& they are dim enough that you can only see the glow at night.
Daytime... no way.
I'm not sure what's powering them in this situation,
but I suspect it's an open loop monitoring circuit .
Anyone else notice this????
LEDs same as these pics

Wanted to update, I got my LEDs today and COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. These LEDs made my car completely amazing! I mean, it was already amazing, but this makes it a whole new car. I replaced the map lights up front, the door lights on the front, and the license plate lights. I'm going to replace the back map lights and vanity lights down the road. These were worth EVERY penny. Here's some pics I took, they look pretty much completely white in the pics, but in case you pickup any blue, that's just the camera, these are all completely white, I wouldn't have it any other way.

i have a 12 led bulb in the map lights, and a 4led bulb in the back seats. the front doesnt glow, but the back bulbs have a dim glow to them as you described. they shut completely off after about 15 mins after the car has been shut off, doors are closed and maybe locked.

I have LED interior as well, and they glow faintly. I would agree on your theory that the open loop monitoring circuit is providing a small amount of current/voltage to the interior lighting circuit. LED's have a low power requirement anyway, so I wasn't surprised when I saw this after I installed them last year.
haha, nothing wrong with that helps him set the mood for the ladies lol. I personally do not have any glow at all with mine either but mine are not as bright as those babies.
I have heard thought with a lot of the higher powered LED's that a lot of people tend to get the glowing effect your talking about InTgr8r.
