need some help with LED puddlelights and door handle lights

hi so i wired everything the puddlelights and doorhandle lights to the dome light wires for a 02 tls i also have a 40 led panel for my domelights. the problem is the lights go off with when i lock the car and on when i unlock. but when i lock it again it turns off and would turn back on randomly. i dont know whats going on.. whereas if i put back a halogen lamp in it doesnt seem to do that as much..

is it maybe i have too many leds running thats screwing up the relays or something?? im not very good with electronics stuff.

i also read that i can run the wires to the passenger fuse box theres two wires and also the drivers side. if i did that would my lights go on like how its wired to the domelights? or is it only when i open the doors and close the doors they turn on?? thanks for the help

I have somewhat a similar problem for my dome lights. My domelights won't autodim, causing my LED's to stay on. I think it has to do with a relay located in the passenger fuse box. If you find the answer, please let us know as I'd also like to have the problem fixed. Good luck.
