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.

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
