Dome light and License Plate Lights???
I replaced both my main dome lights and license plate lights with LEDs (9 LED for dome 4 LED for license plate). Now the dome lights stay on all the time even when the car is off and the key is out of the ignition. They're not fully lit, but they have a light "glow" to them. They still function just as the stock ones did though. Could this be because the new LED dome light has less resistance? The license plate lights "flicker" (fully light up) off and on while my lights are on. The license plate lights do show up on my dash as a fault, I think it says "license plate A & B light" or something like that. Please help, I would really like to keep in my LEDs

STFF dude...there is an entire thread based on LED's especially for the city lights and license plate lights...you need a resistor to make the license plat lights work, theres even a DIY. Or you can search ebay for the non error ones and buy them like I did and several others have started doing since I found them...
as for the dome lights, i have no idea? I have LED's in them and they work fine! you sure your switch isn't set to have them on all the time?
