I have one of the Rigid 5mm LED dome light and 2 of the Tiny LED Modules : High brightness surface LEDs wired in. The problem that i am having is that 2 rows of the dome light LEDs are staying lit. Tho very dim, yet very noticeable when nite driving.
Is there a circuit that i can make to act as a "FILTER" to prevent this? I plan on adding more interior lighting in the near future and i dont want to be haunted by this problem. Thanks in advance. JJ Vehicle info: 97 Monte Carlo |

put a small resistor before the lights and it should be fine

Small resistor in series... Start with something like 10ohms and move up/down until it behaves the way you want. The closer to 0 you can get it, the better off you will be.
A small resistor in parallel is equivalently a short. |

Thats true. I should have some resistors laying around.
Thanks man. |
