Install of LEDS cause Electrical/light problems
After attempting to install led light in dome light, my trunk light stopped working... Me being careless about that specific light, I continued to put blue led bulbs in all four of my side markers and this caused the following problems:
Keyless Remote doesn't work.
Dome light doesn't work unless key is in and doors are closed.
Trunk light still inactive.
I can't even use the lock/unlock button unless the key is in "on".
Now i figured that it must be too much energy from the led lights? Is there a way i can keep the lights and fix these issues?

No, I didn't even think to remove the negative battery.. and yes they were plug and play

you know just because they claim plug and play dont mean they are.Let me give you some free learning,incandesent bulbs have a different resistance then a LED second a LED bulb draw less current have lower voltage requirements and act differently in each of your situations.so what this means is your car is not seeing the correct load on lighting system due to them being LED's so its acting weird and i bet you have ebay etc. leds dont you and that makes it worse.look up a member here named Amerikanner he is a led expert and may be able to point you in the right direction.I could but you used blue leds in your side markers and thats just a HUGE NO NO in my book.So good luck and listen to what the people here tell you as we have been thru the issues before and know how to fix them.

As far as I know, every state in the south east has laws making illegal for any blue lights on a vehicle. I don't know where you are, but generally blue lights on a vehicle just make you a dbag...

Just to add to that here in Canada they're illigal too. It's o.k for your interior but in your marker lights etc. is a no no. Only emergency response vehicles can have blue lights. Police, Ambulance etc. A bluish tint to your HID headlights is one thing but putting LED blue lights anywhere on the exterior of the vehicle. Not good. That's just asking to get pulled over.
