LED corner light issue
 
So I recently installed some new lights. Interior dome, front corners, front turn signals & some HIDs.

1. Dome light(1 cluster of 6 LEDs) when set to Door. If I turn off the car the light is almost off but I can still see the leds, is this normal?

2. Installed LED lights for my turn signals, and LED's in the front corner lights, now when I have my lights on, and I turn on my left or right turn signal it will flash between my corner light and my signal light. where as before with regular bulbs my corners would stay on, and just the turn signal would flash, any ideas how to correct this.

I've ordered led load regulator so that it flashes slower, but I don't know if it would correct issue number 2 above, anyone else have any input on this?

The problem lies with the lower resistance LED bulbs have. They make the electrical system in the car all screwy.

Not many LED bulbs as far as I know have resistors in there to correct them to the amount the systems are made for. You'll get away with running some of them in some places, but really there's not a whole lot you can do but run traditional bulbs.

thats sucks I figured as much thats why i ordered the led load resistance thing from ebay, will have to see if it improves anything, is anyone else running anyother super white bulbs or for there corners or any other options you guys can suggest....

yea my turn signals did that too but my dome light is fine so i dont know about that but for your second problem the resistor should fix the problem

I wanted to run LEDs in various places, in exterior lights. Colossal fail, dumped them and ran stock ones immediately. Try the load resistance unit, that may solve the problem

What kind of LED's are you guys running? I have LEDs in my cluster, Dome light, and on my old DC i had them in my sidemarkers and so on. Cheap Pacific Mall ----?

You need to check battery connections.
