Gday to yous all, this should be my 3rd post and here it goes, my interior lights(blue) on both back corner behind the back seats works fine BUT when they go out, one stays on with a dull greenish dim which mite explains why my car sounds funny next morning on start up, makes unhealthy sound for few seconds before normal rev kicks in, so obviosly its battery related i hope, i dont wanna take the light out so would anibody with any ideas of whats doing it?would it has to do with sound system etc, the light isnt faulty, it has been like that for while but im annoyed now.thanks for any help.

Yep comon problem with led bulbs if your door switch is leaking a bit of current, led draws a bit of current in the off state. A fix is to put an resistor in line with led bulb :)

but that wouldn't explain funny starting problems next am, unless your battery is very marginal...those leds would draw bugger all

yeah its the funny start thats annoying me, it coud be the battery, own the car for about 6months now and im not sure if the dim light has always been there but
the funny start has only been there for about 3 months, so youd think the battery may be marginal?
