BulletMagnet Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 That's normal Some thing to do with LEDs being more sensitive to the minimal current that the regular filament bulb isnt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Anyone had this also.. just change my interior dome light to leds. the leds are still slightly showing on after dimmed. Thanks Just answered the exact same question this evening for Lacky in his build thread. Rather then right it out again I've been lazy & cut/pasted it. With regards to the interior LED's staying on ~ It's because all LED's have a lower resistance than the original bulbs they replace. There is a small amount of current that flows through the interior light unit but with the original bulbs it is not enough to light them as their resistance is higher. With the LED's having less resistance it dimly lights them up all the time but is nothing to worry about and will not drain any power from the battery.

cs2000 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Yep, measured it for a member before that bought some bulbs off of me. Even when the light is "off" I think theres something like 1.5v still running through the bulb, its just that a regular filament bulb wont illuminate with this, an LED being more efficient will. EDIT: found my original post explaining it http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/76521-350z-370z-led-bulb-kits/page__view__findpost__p__1236064 Edited April 29, 2014 by cs2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's the power consumption you want really, the combined voltage and amps. But it'll be sweet f' all anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 True, but now im going to have to measure it due to my need to know! Damn you husky! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
