LED interior lighting and DF decals installed
Well, I put my white LED's in that I got from Jimbo the other day, they look pretty sweet and they're bright too. Real easy to put them in, just pop the lens down for the dome and to get the reading lights you have to remove the screw in the overhead console and pull it down.
Also put on my DodgeForum.com decals that Klings made for me, they look great! (shots are at night, I'll try to get some in the day sometime) They look white in the pictures but they're more towards silver, they're actually an etched effect.

RE: LED interior lighting and DF decals installed
One slightly odd thing I've noticed about the LED's is that whenever the ignition is on they stay lit, but very dimly. It's not enough to light up the cab at all but it's enough to tell if you look at the light itself when it's dark out. Not sure why this is but it doesn't happen when the ignition is off so I'm going to write it off as Dodge's weird wiring

Looks great. Kling is great also. He did a great job on my Ram Monster decal for my topper window. Use a general purpose diode. The diode cathode should be facing the ground source. This should stop the LED from staying lit. There should be no as in "o" voltage from ground to your power source when the circuit is off. It sound like you have residual voltage from the power source that powers your LEDs. Being LEDs have a low turn on voltage like 2mv it doesn't take much to have the situation you’re having.

I may just leave it, doesn't bother me any (the front ones aren't bright enough to notice unless you stare at them and the rear one isn't bright enough to light the cab up at all) it actually looks kind of cool. Thanks for the advice on the diodes though, I'll keep that in mind if it does get annoying Being slightly on like that can't hurt them at all can it?
