Indicator LED ABS and Airbag....

This was originally a question from rdhenderson in the LED gauge how-to sticky, comment #54.

"So I have replaced 95% of the interior lights to LEDs. However, I have something strange happening. When I went to replace the lights for the instrument panel indicators the 2 bulbs for the ABS and the Airbag appeared to be a bit different from the others. They had a twist lock base but the bulbs were not removeable. So I purchased 2 new twist lock bases and put some LEDs in there. Now the indicator lights constantly stay lit. Any thoughts?"

I am having the same issue when I replaced my stock indicator lights with LEDs and wondered if anyone has an answer for this?? Although I didn't notice any difference in the base but I wasn't looking either.

as far as the inside lights go I have replaced all but the indicator lights on the gauges. I have however just recently changed the front park/turn lights to led and both my turn indicator lights stay lit up when lights are turned on, I believe its because the system thinks the bulbs are burned out due to the low draw from the leds. I also have the stupid fast click from the turn signals when turning all this has to be fixed with the led load levelers.....Ebay has them but I am looking to get something that would be a one time deal not putting a leveler at each led..maybe someone here can shed some light (no pun) on our situation.

My blinkers work fine...Hmmmm Still have the ABS and airbag issue tho.. Gonna try and swap in standard lights and see if this corrects it when I have a chance.
