So a couple days ago, I finally got around to putting some LED's in my third brake light and now I have a slight issue. My cargo lights never really turn off while the truck is on. I know I've read about this problem before but I can't remember what the fix was nor could I find any thread that talked about it.

And what I mean by they never really turn off is from the moment I start the truck, they are receiving just enough power to emit a dim light.

Mine did the same thing. Honestly, won't effect your battery. And the problem is a resistor. Maybe not one strong enough? Both my cargo lights and one reverse light did it. But they would turn off after about 5 minutes of the truck being off.

So, mine is doing this too, and it's illegal here to have even the slightest White glow backwards, so the lawman will stop you.... Has anyone got a solution for stoppning the glow? Thx :)
