Have you wired the LEDs directly to a power source, or to an ignition feed?

If wired to an ignition feed, such as a ciggy lighter's power wire, then they should switch off once the car is off.

I think that s where you went wrong, the glovebox light comes on any time you open it, even when ignition is off, you need to wire it from a wire that has power all the time the ignition is on and no power when its off.

Sounds good. Can't wait to see the interior when it's finished. It'll look sweet.

On My Ef I just changed the standard floor lights with blue led wedge globes.

No extra wiring - nothing else to do just change the wedge globe and they worked perfect

EXCEPT they were directional leds so they made a bright blue circle of light on the floor

I then changed to the spread light wedge globes and they were ok but too dark at night time

So i changed it to super bright white light spread wedge globe and they work sweet
