Everything looks good, except I switched all the accessory lights (ABS, hi beams, check engine, etc) out with t1.5's, but for some reason my brake light is always dimly lit even when the pedal isnt pressed down. It still lights up all the way when i press it down though. Why does my parking brake light stay barely lit all the time?

oh, and it wasnt like this before i did the LEDs, and its not the bulb because i tried using different ones and it does the same thing.

the only thing i can think of is maybe the area around where the 2 metal pieces touch the circuits on the backside of the gauges got scratched when i was removing the bulb, so theres like a constant path for the circuit to flow or something...i dunno:dunno:

This happens becuase the light is 'sepping' in from another area. There is foam around each light so they are all indepent. What youve done is allowed light to get behing the brake light and light it up.
