This is what I found out. This how mine our. When the truck is off and the doors are closed and i press the led light it does not turn on. But when the truck is started they all work even when pressed.

Greetings,

Sorry I don't have pix, but here is what I did. I wanted a bit more light in the cab of my 2012 Express RCSB. Not having lights in the footwells has been a disappointment and I still haven't figured out a "clean" way to add footwell lights. I ordered 2 of the following on Amazon (Amazon.com: NEEWER® T10 36 SMD LED Light Festoon Dome Bulb Lamp White 12V: Home Improvement). I spliced them together and replaced my single dome light bulb with them. I now have 72 LEDs lighting up my cab. The wife is worried that landing planes will mistake me for a moving signal beacon! When she goes shopping at night, I can now read in comfort while I dutifully wait in the truck!:winner_first_h4h:

you can do that but I went with the factory look. I didn't feel like retrofitting a LED panel in there

Got my leds installed. They flash when the truck is not running. Work normal when the truck is running. If I leave one of the factory bulbs in the map light every thing works fine. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks Bob

Coincidentally, mine does the same. If I need the light with the truck off, I just rotate the dimmer switch full right.

My dads flash too but will stop if you open the glove box lol
I pulled the upper and lower glove box out to change that bulb
It's one 9/32 bolt (I think) to remove and you have all the room you could want to get he bulb put and back in
