Mine seem to "glow" all the time an it's not intermittent, I'm thinking to change the fuse to a lower amperage as the LEDs use very little power, just dunno if it's a good idea? Anyone?

I have this is a reno but my Vw seems to get away with it. It's due to the low power required to start the led and the fact the apply is only single cut, and a noisy car body return. Using can friendly LEDs should help an probably cure the problem due to the bleed resistor around the led. You won't find them for the overhead but the footwell, glove lights are available

Wouldn't the overhead one be the same as the canbus number plate ones?
