So i bought some festoon bulbs, the 6 led ones.

Fitted today and when on standby they are dull but on. Thay switch off and come on when pushed and door opens.

Any ideas?

 

Can you post some more detail. What bulb have you replaced with a led and what if any wiring mods have you carried out?

 

Wrong way round?
LED's are current directional

 

Out of interest, anyone else replaced their interior bulbs with LEDs? I'm tempted to do this too

 

I have. Nice cheap little mod and had no problems with mine although getting the cover back on afterwards was a bit tricky. Some people have also changed the boot light to LED's too.

 

LEDs don't require much power and will still draw power from any residual current in the circuit, that's why they will still glow when the switch is off.

 

Yep me
Works well
That's how I know they are directional

 

The key is in the name, Light Emitting DIODE. 'Tis a one way gate There are exceptions, but I'll refrain from getting geeky on you.

The switch may be letting a small amount of current through if it's a bit sticky.

If you have a multimeter/ammeter, hook it up in series and let us know how much is going through.

 

I was gonna say the same, you geek!

 

Yes I am

The world needs geeks
