Interior LED problem
I swapped the map and dome light to LED yesterday
everything work fine...however when i turn the light off
it won't go off completely it will just become dimmer
it's not bright...but you can def. see the light still on.
anyone know how to fix this?

Mine does that too. I installed the blue leds and noticed the map lights stay on when in the off position. Moving to "door" fixes it, but I wonder if it is still drawing some low voltage current in the off position?

I installed the blue LEDs (5 lights kit - maps, dome and doors).
I started by changing the rear dome light then move to one of the map lights. When I open the door (checking that the bulbs worked), I noticed the dome light was just fading and not turning off. But once all three bulbs were installed (two maps and dome) - they all turned off completely. I had no problems with the doors lights.
Did you buy from Tech toyz?

Try playing around with the switch - turn from doors to off and back again....
I did play with the switches (both for map and dome) and I kept pushing the door switch to get the lights to turn on and off.
Good luck.
Sorry I'm not much help. =(

What I meant is while I was installing the lights, they wouldn't completely shut off. So I had put the switches to "OFF".
But then once all the lights were installed, I put the switch back to "DOOR" and then they worked fine.
You shouldn't need to have the switch at "OFF"
