So finished up the LED's today installed the last one in the door behind the pass side seat, so with the doors closed there all on but dim when you open them they brighten up, have them under the dash, doors, and the two bigger over head lights, pushed the switches for each door that push in when the doors close to turn the lights off and none of them change this, any ideas?

Lol its an odd one well I Googled it and came across this on a Jeep fourm and they said if you replace the majority of your bulbs with LEDs theres always power going through the sockets but the regular bulbs dont go on like the leds do with that juice flowing through them went on to say to replace the two under dash bulbs and it should be fine

unknown at this time.
it sounds like when your doors are closed you still have your rheostat on the headlight switch is on which would leave your courtesy lights on. the slight brightness difference is just a symptom of the circuit that is operational on the low brightness side of the problem is suffering from aged wiring or bad connections.
