Hey guys

Weird question, dont know if anyone has run into this before, I replaced all my inside lights in my coupe with bright white LED lights from superbrightLEDS.com. So I installed all of them no problem, only thing I have noticed though is if I keep the dome light switch to turn on when I open the doors it actually still emitts a very small ammount of light with the doors shut and the car locked. The other wierd thing is if I turn the dome light to off all the time, the front two reading lights do the same thing and emitt a very small ammount of light. Now I'm concerned because I don't want my battery to die leaving this thing like this. The only way to get both of them to go off is to turn both switchs too the OFF setting then they stay off. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? And if there is no fix for it is it safe for the barttery? I dont want to walk outside to a dead battery one morning because the dome lights been on all night nor do I want to shut off the lights all the time because that defeats the purpose of having dome lights to begin with. if anyone have any ideas please let me know. I'm Stumped!

Thanks,Josh

Look around the forums and see what other guys get before you buy..

If the bulb doesnt use enough juice, the light wont ever go off...

The draw is so small it wont burn battery, your all good...how many leds are in the dome lights?
