So I recently got a blue led light for my dome light. The problem is that when I have the dome light switch in the "only turn on when the door(s) open" position the led doesnt turn off 100%. when I have the dome light switch in the "off" position it does turn off 100%. When the dome light switch is in the "only turn on when the door(s) open" position its not bright at all (like a cell phone screen on its darkest output setting). So i guess im just wondering is it bad if i keep it in the "only turn on when the door(s) open"? like will i kill my battery or burn out the led light?
here are pics of the light in the "on" position and in the ""only turn on when the door(s) open" position.



it looks A LOT brighter then it is in this picture

 

it won't hurt anything at all. It's not drawing enough power for your battery to even notice, you'd have to leave it on for months to do anything. Believe it or not, the tiny amount of power lighting that led was always there, but the normal bulb in there takes so much power to light, that it wouldn't light. So it's not affecting anything, the residual power running through the wires is what's lighting that bulb.

 

thats because its an led. a diode should fix the problem but ive never tried it bc ive been lazy. ive had my light for like 3 years like that so ur fine as far as damage goes

damn u tommy responding all fast and ****

 

oo ok cool thanks you for the help and the EXTREMELY fast responses lol.

 

yup leds do that. mine is the same way. no problems here

 

you can add a restistor to stop this. iirc someone did a how-to on this problem.
