As for them flickering when they fade out, I wonder if power is just stepping down and LEDs respond so quickly that you actually see the power cycles, whereas incandescents stay hot long enough to maintain light between power cycles.

So my map lights are staying on ALL the time (except when the truck is totally off) they are very faint and you can hardly notice it. But it's only the map lights, none of the others. Any idea why? There is no flickering or stepping down.............

My truck does it to and i believe its because LED's can run on such a small amount of power and there is alwasy a small amount of power that is running to the lights when the truck is on but doesn't effect normal lights because its not enough power to turn them on.
