Default LED bulbs?

Hello everyone, I be new to da forums here!

I'm sure many of you are using LED bulbs for your Rams... so I am hoping that you could help me. I have all sorts of LEDs, and I have been using LEDs in my vehicles for a while. However, after installing my interior bulbs in my 05 Ram, I had a few issues.
- Bulbs have a slight glow when lights turn off
- Push buttons no longer function.
What have you all done to fix this? Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

LED lights don't pull enough resistance on their own. May you have to add one. There are several manufacturer that make plug and play. Those are the ones I would recommend. Will save you work.

What are the plug and play bulbs called? I have not seen anything to differentiate them from the basic bulbs. Or, where did you buy yours?

  • ​​all I see on superbrightleds is basic LEDs and CAN bus LEDs. I'm supposed to use CAN bus for the interior lights?
