l.e.d interior lights

Well i got some l.e.d interior lights and they are awesome...BUT for some odd reason they kind of stay on when i turn the truck off. or when im driving at night you can see them flickering like they are dimmed all the way. anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks for any help!

Lights for what?
I think you need some kind of resistor for them. They require much less voltage and can not function properly if they have too much voltage going to them.

RedRam, I have these in my truck and they do the same thing. I asked Recon and their response was that they were supposed to act like that. Strange, but the lights really do look great.

I havent called Recon yet i just thought i would see if anyone on here had the same problem, and it looks like patriot2500 does so i guess thats just the way they are. Thats the only complaint i have with them though! They look great at night when you open the doors!
