Hey Guys.
I went ahead & got some LED festoon globes to put in the front, side & boot, to change them over to LED.
Easy enough to do. I put them in yesterday arvo when they arrived in the post.
All went well & I actually prefer the white light that the LED's give off.
Now here is my problem. With the door closed, the lights still give of some light. So I got out my multimeter.
With the door open or the light switch pulled out. It gives off 12v. As it should.
Now with the door closed & the switch pushed back in. I get a constant 7v. Hence why there is still some light there.
Has anyone else put in LED's & NOT have this problem? I have googled & googled but can't find anyone else with this problem.
Any hints at what to look for. The normal filament globes don't give any light what-so-ever
Cheers
Pete
