LED Dome light not working right

Just put in a 4 blue led which looks great except for the fact that unless I have the switch set to off it stays on, regardless of the door being open or closed.

I also replaced the step lights with led's but they turn off when the door is closed.

try switching it around? maybe the switch that decides whether it's on door, on, or off is broken? take it all apart, play with it and then try it again. usually works for me when stuff like that goes wrong. goodluck

i thought about buying that led, where'd you get it? www.superbrightleds.com?

Bought them from Autolumination

The bulb only goes in one way and there is no problem with the switch, the regular incadescent bulb works fine. I know that using led's for turn signals speeds them up unless you add a resistor so...

EDIT: Turns out that for some reason it just takes about 30 seconds for it to shut off, I have no idea why. Must have something to do with small amount of power consumption an led uses.
