Interior light issues

Ok well the other day I put LEDs in the courtesy light on the doors and they stay partially illuminated when I close the doors and the open door light on the cluster stays a little lit could this be because they are cheap LEDs or is there an underlying problem?

Ahh wel lthat is strange. It's normal for them to come on a little bit while the dome light timeout is activated (close doors but the dome stays on for a few seconds)

All I can say is try another LED.

what LED is recommended for good brightness as well as won't stay on when the door is closed?

Also, is LED lights actually worth it? like does it really make that much difference?

Are two posts in threads that are pretty much the same, posted within 2 minutes of each other really necessary?

The oposite of the above answer is the answer to your question.

hey, I was just making sure you saw it, I didn't know what post you read as well as which would be better on topic. it's the internet, don't take it too seriously.

Then PM me. This site is chalk full or handy resources like private messages to members and moderators, advanced and generic search, google works well too.

My negative responses are to teach you what is and is not acceptable on here, so that the forum may be kept as clean-cut and easy to use as possible for all members. We're blessed with one of the top 10 best car forums in the world, and we're all quite happy to help as long as we see you helping yourself as well.

Comments about an .ORG member who's been here for over 6 years no being aware how to monitor posts, and about being a '****' as you put it in your other post are probably best kept to yourself. Every time before you post on here, think of how it constructively resolves, assists, or surmises a problem or topic. If it doesn't you either want to do more research, re-evaluate your post, take it to Private Messaging, or don't post it.
