I replaced all the cabin lights with led! Today I noticed with the engine off and car alarm armed! I noticed the LEDs are glowing about 5%.
Anyone eles have this or know what's up?

Sounds like a short. Are they like a Christmas tree where-if one isn't plugged in they all go out?

LED's tend to hold a bit of a residual energy after they've lost power. They can generally glow for a few minutes.

Mine glow all the time also. I believe that because the computer controls the lighting that there is always a small amount of electricity flowing thru the system. The leds can pick up on this and they glow. It takes much more current to light the original incandescent bulbs. After all, 90% of all energy given off by incandescent bulbs is in the form of heat.

This is normal. People have left them glowing for years without any issue. Your only other option if it bothers you is to run a regular bulb somewhere in conjunction with one of the LEDs. I ran a regular 194 bulb with the passanger footwell LED and hid it up high in the footwell out of view. No more glowing.

I believe this is caused by the capacitor that is in the circuit. This is sized for the 194 bulbs that are in these places. LEDs take a lot less energy and take a lot longer to discharge this capacitor. Not really a problem.

Thanks guys I thought It was trace voltage glad to see I was right And that others have the same thing!
