Map, Hatch, License Plate LED Lights from YourLEDShop.com. LOTS of Pics!

I saw these in person last night... that LED for the rear hatch is wrong in my opinion.. It shines the light straight ahead, not at a right angle to actually light up the rear hatch area.

Something like this from v-leds would be better suited for the rear hatch.

Note: The LEDs emit a slight glow even when they are off. I haven't had this be an issue as far as draining the battery or anything.
Also, keep in mind the Map Lights will no longer dim while turning off.

that doesn't sound right. sounds like cheap bulbs to me.

LEDs do not emit light when they are off. Unless there is some florescent coating which may glow for a short time after, which I doubt.

The LEDs will not dim. This is to be expected. Diodes have an exponential I-V characteristics. Incandescent light bulbs are dimmed by lowering the voltage on the bulb since they have a linear I-V characteristics. Therefore, if you install LEDs, they will dim ever so slightly and turn of abruptly after that. Anyone with an illuminated kick plate can experience this themselves by holding the door switch with their fingers until the lights dim off and see how the kick plate light reacts to dimming.

This is my main reason for not wanting to change the map light bulbs. But the license plate and trunk lights are useful!
