I installed some 9 SMD festoon based bulbs in my interior a while back and came to the problem of the lights constantly staying on when i was driving so i could bring my self to post pictures with it being half assed. But i finally got around to getting fixed so i figured i would share :smileup:
Here is the trouble i was facing the lights would stay on like this until about 15 minutes after i shut my truck off.
After doing some searching i went radio shack and picked me up some 100 ohm 1 watt resistors
I got them arranged in the lights now for the time being until i can get back to my garage and pick up my soldering iron and make it more permanent
Once i got them all installed both my map lights finally worked like they were supposed to again and would come on when i clicked them and there was no lingering light but it made one hell of a difference in my inside lighting :SHOCKED:
Soon to come i have complete set of blue leds to do the dash, HVAC, overhead computer and the light dial but they are still in route that wil be another day:smileup:
