Default LED reverse lamps

I replaced my reverse lamps in my '00 vert with the LED versions.
Weird problem, without the car in reverse that lamps are still kinda lit. Not fully on but not off.

Any ideas?

Not a weird problem. Kinda common. I've seen several complaints about it but can't recall the fix. At least you're not alone. When I tried the LED back up lights they just didn't put out enough light to see so I went back to stock.

I would imagine it needs a resistor. I had a similar problem with my bike years back and all I needed was a resistor.
