Problems with windows and lights

I ordered LEDS from autolumination.com, got them last week, and went to replace the 164s with my new leds. I disconnected the battery and went to work. Super simple, took 5 mins if that. BUt now I have 2 issues.

1) the LEDs i put in the front doors and the rear lights shine when the car is on. it's faint, but i can see they are emitting some small amount of light

2) since i reconnected the battery, the one-touch up for the windows no longer works. one-touh down works, but up does not.

any ideas as what is going on?

I'll just reply with what I have read on this forum in the past:
1) the LEDs hold a certain amount of energy and glow for a while after the power source is disconnected.
2) You must complete the auto-initialize procedure for the auto up/down to work on the windows after disconnecting the battery. You can find it in the FAQ section. Basically, all windows must complete a full up-down cycle before the end points are re-learned.

the one-touch down works just fine. it's only up. and i put the windows down and up, and they won't go up in one touch like they should.

It's not a simple roll up and then roll down; you must hold the window switch for several seconds per the instructions. Just making sure you followed the instructions is all.

LED's will typically require less drive voltage than a standard bulb, so when you replace the bulb with an LED it may/will turn on at a voltage that the bulb would not have. Do you have a spec sheet for the LED bulbs you bought, it should have this sort of info on it.
