I just installed LED lights in the door, map lights & dome light. I noticed after the the lights go off the dome light is on very faint. If I use the switch on the dome light & turn it off the light goes out completly. Has anyone ever experienced this?

yes, the leds do that as there's a residual charge left in the circuit...

nothing to worry about, they don't draw enough power to affect the battery. :bigthumb:

Ok, thanks. I was a little worried about it affecting the battery.

what's weird is that my wife has the same v-leds LEDs in her altima that I have in mine and hers glow all the time, but in my car they never glow after I turn them off or turn the car off. It's no big deal, just weird.
