rear dome light, faintly stays lit on door position.

wondering if anyone can help troubleshoot this for me.
if I leave my rear dome light to door, I get a faint light emitting, but not a full "on" light. when I switch it off, the front dome light then goes on faintly.

can anyone help me diagnose the problem?

Did you buy the correct size? If you did, then maybe the LED quality of the bulb is poor and causing it. Also make sure its in their nice and tight and not all angled and stuff. make it nice and straight.

To me it sounds like a potential bulb-fitting or connection problem. Check to make sure you have the right size.

sometimes there's a trickle flow of current that occurs with led bulbs.
that's why i asked... and knew that you had them.

it's semi-normal, and nothing i'd be tooooo concerned about.
