    LEDs draw significantly less current than standard incandecent bulbs. Because of that, your lights aren't drawing the current that the brake lamp circut is expecting. It sees it as a blown bulb and turns on the light.

    Just rip out the bulb :lol

    Hey, thanks for that bit of info. I was actually considering doing that to my car, but if it causes the brake light bar thingy to come on then forget it.

    you need to put some resistors inline to fool the circuit thing that ays you have a broken lights. Check on the other ricer boards, or Google it.
