no they stay bright, I haveit unplugged for now. Have tried 2 different brands because the first manufacture said it was a defective item.
Odd switching the wires fixed mine, but I do know they may stay in but get dimmer. If they do then you need a resistor in the hot wire as LEDs light with very little voltage.
Tried switching wires and must have switched the wrong two. Now “parade” (bright instrument lighting for daytime), dome, cargo and radio don’t work.
Brief research indicates I may have blown my IOD fuse. Arghh.
i had this problem with my 99 theres constant power sent to the cargo light and grounds at switch i think ..i ended up disconecting those lights and installed lights under bed rails and conected them to orignal wires..had same problem with led tail lights not shutting off on my 03 ram i had..
