Hey guys, I just started on my conversion tonight.. and first bulb i swapped out.. i'm having problems.

I bought some flat top LEDs (Red), and some 560 resistors to go with them.

Wanted to start small so I went for the single light in the wiper switch module. Desoldered the old one easy, soldered up the resistor and LED nicely, everything works great.

NOW.

I have absolutely no idea whats going on... My Map lights up front will NOT shut off! I've tried the dome override switch, I tried pressing the button on the map lights (they flicker once then remain on) The dimmer switch will dim everything but the map lights..

I've disconnected the battery and let it reset to see if that would help but they just came back on instantly. My battery is disconnected for fear of loosing it lol

Really need some help!
Does anyone know what went wrong??

That's odd because the wiper light is on a different circuit then the map lights. Pull the fuse until you get time to sort it out.
