Dome lights blinking when door is open?
Hello everyone!
i just swapped some LEDS into my dome lights and now its all weird. when i leave the door open, its like a strobe light haha. its annoying. is it because of the aftermarket bulbs? i got it from ijdmtoy that someone recommended on here a week ago. i've also emailed the company and now pending a response. any pointers?
Problems:
1. when my door is open, my lights blink on/off non stop.
2. When my doors are closed and lights are left on the door mode, the lights stay dim and on all the time.
Questions:
1. How do i make them not blink without disabling the door mode?
2. How can i make the lights turn off automatically without manually turning it off?
If you guys can help that would be great!

well i went from a honda rice rocket and added alot of mods myself and i just like having my car perfected. the LED's actually help me when i need to find something. its brighter than day! i've been using LEDs on all my cars for 8 years already and its much better! and its not hard at all to install. pretty simple. it can take u less than a minute to remove the cover and replace the bulb.

there are reading lights that are leds if you need extra brightness and MB SUV is a bit of a different car from honda rice rocket, and judging by this thread it's not that simple, also search for a post on how to remove the dome covers on GLK.
