The dome light in my car has 2 positions. Door- which comes on when the doors are open and the ignition is off, and which turns off when the car is driving with doors closed. Theres also full manual which is lights off unless I hit the button.
With the OEM incandescent lights installed, it works like it should. With doors closed, set to Door mode, the dome lights go out when I drive. But recently I got red led dome lights. Now when I drive with doors closed the dome lights stay on (slightly less bright than when I hit the Manual button however).
I have read that some cars keep a little power going to the dome lights all the time, but not enough to light up an incandescent. Could that be enough to light up an led? Would a resistor hooked up in line on the power wire to the dome light be enough to stop this? If so, what size or how can I determine the size?
