Switches operate as they should. In one position they are on, and in the other they are off. When they are off, then light is operated by Lucas alarm box.
Ignition on or off, doors are shut.

If they're wired in with the interior light, which DOES suffer from the issue of LEDs receiving a little residual power, then it's logical to assume a TF mirror wired to the same circuit will suffer the same issue. :)

Haha, can never be simple eh. Were the switches for the TF light in the off position and where have you taken the feed for the rear light from?

andys1981 05-01-15 08:21 AM

ive just got the feed off the original interior light,noticed at school tryed to plug one of the lights into the tf mirror and the interior light went out so,maybe the tf lights have always done that,or possibly i may have a faulty led bulb,should find out weds when im off.

CANBUS LEDs should stop this. :)

andys1981 05-01-15 06:32 PM

yeah matty thats what im thinking,funny as they bulbs have been in the car for about 6 months,but never noticed the lights staying on.

andys1981 08-01-15 06:14 PM

ok folks been out and done a few tests with these lights,had one led light plugged in,and that puts out the main interior light,tryed it with a normal bulb and they all go out,so come to the conclusion that its just these cheap led lights that are staying on but very faint,it must have been doing this from the start.
