Led dome light wont shut off.

I switched out my middle dome light to led and instead of going off completely when i shut the door it just dims and doesn't go off all the way . I made sure to get led that is error free . How can i remedy this issue ?

NO LONGER ACTIVE
The OCP still provides a very low voltage to the bulbs. Not enough to illuminate an incandescent bulb, but enough for an LED. There's not much you can do about that.

Need higher resistance canbus LEDs to prevent current leak triggering LEDs which in themselves require very little power to turn on.

My LED mostly came from eBay but they’re CANBUS… that what they say.
anyways, I’ll just get new ones at AZN optics and get this problem over with. Thanks!
