Interior L.E.D Light
I have installed LEDS in my interior complete 18 led boards..They work fine but noticed something weird.
When the map lights are set too off the rear dome and map light glow lightly as if they are on but very low..
when the map lights are set on door the rear dome and map light disappear? what is the cause of this and could that setting drain my battery?

This has been asked and answered multiple times. The car has a very small current going through when in "off" position. The car's stock bulbs need more power to light up so you won't see it. LED's take very little power to turn on so the little voltage running through it will light them up. When set to door the circuit itself is broken so it won't light.
