led replacement interior bulbs

[valeter dave]

Hi I've replaced all bulbs with led bulbs but like the number plate bulbs the led bulbs glow a little even with ignition turned off any idea why that is?

My interior ones glow when turned off but when the car is locked they go out because the modules are powered down and not on standby waiting for the button to be pressed to turn them on.


short story - swap them for canbus bulbs or leave it - they should go out when the car is locked.

thanks barrybritcher.

Interior lights I'm not too worried about it's the number plate lights.
The led lights are very slightly glowly all the time after I've locked up,and may flatten the battery

When I replaced all of mine the fact that the dome lights glowed while driving drove me nuts. My solution was to solder some resistors to each dome light receptacle. I can't remember which resistors I used but If anyone wants to know more I can take apart the dome light to demonstrate what I mean. The resistors cost next to nothing vs. very expensive canbus cancelling lights.
