LED Interior Lighting question...
OK, I changed out my interior lights for LED... Though there seems to be a problem. Was wondering if anyone else has seen this.
I have a 04 sedan. I replaced the "Map lights", The "Rear side personal lights", and the "Step/courtesy lights" I will have to say they look great!!! Here's the problem...
The "Map Lights" glow (not fully on, can barely see them) when the "door" is selected on the switch. If I switch the switch to OFF they are off. But with the doors closed, and the switch in "DOOR" they should also be off. All doors were shut, and if I put the old school bulbs back in, the lights work as advertised.
Has anyone seen this? Know a fix? Kind of lame to have to manually switch the lights on and off.

Well don't actually know what the issue was, somehow I fixed it today. For most part all I did was remove the cover, push the ON/OFF switch a few times, and they quite "glowing". Now working as advertised.

Got a reply back from iJDMtoy dot com, where I bought them.

You will need a 1/8W 10kW Ohm resistor, you will just need to tap it from the positive to the negative portion of the bulb. That should fix the problem.
