LED conversion ?
I have converted all my exterior lights and interior lights as well as coring the flasher to an led e27(think that was the #). Everything functions as it should. However, when I depress the brake pedal the dash and parking lights come on. The lights I used are polarity sensitive led bulbs. Any ideas on how to stop this?
I'd have to look at the wiring but it sounds like the LED light is connecting the park lamp circuit (through the bulb wiring) backfeeding the circuit. So basically you're using your brake lamp circuit to power your parking light circuit... not really ideal lol.
Which bulbs did you purchase? You may have to add a diode or similar but I can't imagine why this wouldn't have already been built-in. Could you provide a link to the bulb or part # or something as it may help provide more insight. I've tried to look up E27 but I get standard household LED bulbs... I'm really after the pinout of the bulb you've installed.
See the picture attached below, it sounds like you're joining pins 2 & 3 basically when you're applying the brakes.

I can't remember but those are a different brNd than the others I have. I'm in my company vehicle and will not be able to check the brand until late tonight. I will let you know.
Jam strait led is what I used in the license plate. It looks like a regular 194 incandescent bulb with led lights inside the glass. Fit perfectly. The pic is of the amber pack of course I used clear.
