Divers side door led staying on? Fml

I have had nothing but trouble with these lights since I started to install them... They work per decry with the stock lights but I just chucked in some leds now they all work perfect except te drivers side door it just stays on when the door is closed... But it's not fully on its sort of at 20%... I'll upload a video to show you... The only thing I can think that's different is the rest have diodes in them...


Thanks Matt

How long did you wait before seeing that the led was still on because lights don't go off instantly they stay on for a couple of minutes after you close the door

The lights are the courtesy lights the ones on the bottom right hand side of the door when a door opens the light turns on.... And when it's closedit turns off instantly. What this door is doing is basically dimming the light instead of turning it off.

i reckon it will be because of the low current draw of the LED's. it is getting enough of an earth to turn on, just not full brightness.

something like a resistor in parallel might help.

If it worked for the other doors then it should work maybe that's the key
