LED in Keyring always on?

I put a LED in for the keyring light and it seems like it is always on when the car is off and the key is out, but not as bright. It is not enough to drain the battery. Anyone else notice this??

yes....since there's a delay on the bulb that usually is hooked up there, the LED (which uses ALOT less power than a bulb) takes about 20 minutes to "burn off" the residual power.

No, it will not drain anything. If you check back to your car after 20 minutes or so, you'll see that it is off...

Mine turns off after approx. 15 seconds.

Same with mine, I'm stock green because I like it turns off really quick when the car is off.
