    Wow ! So yours stay lit all the time and it is not a problem with your battery?? Did you install your led bulbs ?? Did the previous bulbs turn off properly??
    Shannon, yes they stay on all the time and I don't have battery issues. I also have some led tail lights on my WW car and they are on all the time also. No problems at all so far. I like the whiter light on the parking lights. I see no advantage using them on the brake lights. I also installed led backup lights on all my cars. They don't stay on all the time and give much more light than stock. Anyone behind me in a parking lot has no trouble knowing that that Thunderbird is in reverse. I can also see better. Another step to get all the help I can get.

    Yes the stock bulbs turned off properly before I installed the leds. I also use CAN (Controller Area Network) compliant led bulbs so they don't confuse the computer. I do not have a light out warning.

      Maybe the regular bulbs have some small current going through them but not enough to light up. Whereas an LED is very non linear and 1 milliamp is as bright as 10 milliamps. Normal bulbs like Amps not milliamps.
