LED dome lights always on / slight glow??

First off, my brother 300on24s suggested i try this site after numerous posts on chargerforums.com never getting answered. It looks like this is a helpfull community!


Both me and my brother (300on24s) ordered LED interior lights, I have all the bulbs in and they look great but ive noticed that even when not turned on the front map lights have a very slight glow to them. My question is, will this drain the battery on the car and have any of you had this issue, if so, is there away to fix the "permanent glow" issue?

thanks in advance

I can answer one but not the other...

2 small LEDS will in no way no how drain your battery....

I have a 6 tube BRIGHT LED kit on my car... as you can see below... I leave it on all night long sometimes... it doesnt even hesitate to start... LEDS draw VERY little power... so thats not gonna be a problem...

but they shouldnt be glowing???... not sure about that one...

These are the ones to go with. I got them from superlumination.com. They are the 36 LED arrays measuring 38mm x 38mm available in the 44mm length. I love them..

Have had my LEDs installed since October all the way around from superlumination.com and they do the same thing, all the way around, but they glow very dimmly, and with the indash i have passengers don't notice till the battery saver kicks in and shuts it off completely.

I would not worry about it as long as its not visually bothering you as it has never killed my battery or giving me an issue.
