I have just fitted a set of LED front side lights which look great but once it got dark I found they glow slightly even though all lights are turned off and with the ignition off. Any suggestions?

OK guys, have just seen on another thread that the LED bulbs glow for a while after switching off, and yes it's true. They do look like they match the 06 Xenons for colour as well.

Any pics?

monkeynuts · May 4th, 2006, 09:10 PM

its normal i think due to the low level of power required.

what is cool is wen your walking back to the car at night if you press the lock button on your key it shud activate the glow on your LED's - ladies always like the little tricks

Sorry to drag up an old thread but it seemed the most relevant way to do it.

I noiced today that my LED sidelight bulbs pulse/flash when i first start the engine, i.e. before i even turn my lights on - is this normal? :-)

cheers

Absolutely normal as you turn the key they give few pulses of light

Gives a great effect

just found an answer to my own question in another thread - apparently normal :-)

cheers
