LED Reverse lights
I installed led reverse lights on my 2000 c5 and the lights are on all the time, get brighter when I put the car in reverse, Anybody else experience this.

You need load resistors. Some C5s do it. Most (including my 99) don't.

do you have other LED lights (like the DRL or parking lights)?? adding others will sometimes create the need for additional load in the circuit. i added the reverse led lamps from jwmotoring without any problems what so ever, but other than my halo led tail lamps, i don't have any others. you can also add the anti flash harness that jw and others sells to avoid the problem no matter how many led lamps you add. i have an extra one for sale should you be interested. brand new, never installed.
