Just installed my led dome lights...

Is it just me...or if u turn the switch to off, instead of being off, it turns green...to turn it off it has to be on the default - on with doors, off with ignition setting.

Somehow there's a small voltage applied to the lights even when it's suppose to be off. The voltage is too small to turn on the normal bulbs but the LEDs are more efficient and turn on with the smaller voltage thus you see the small glow. If you drive your car at least once a week you should be fine, no need to worry about battery drain.

damn 5 minute edit rule, yes i meant to say 9 led. i thought this might be too many at first but it actually is perfect. i got tired of the blue leds i had before as i couldn't really see shit with them.
