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.

You need to check battery connections.
