Just changed one of the LEDs in the MFD and now noticed when the display clears the leds stay lit up :\

This has never happened before and i've changed the LEDs in there countless times

Not too pleased with them like this as it's probably draining the battery :|

It is annoying, but it won't drain the battery as LED's use next to no power. I've got LED's in my interior light and when I first put them in they stayed slightly glowing when off, but after about a week they settled down and now go off completely. As LED's use such little electricity to power them, the smallest leaking charge will cause them to glow slightly.

I didn't want to take the risk as i had a long journey the day after - and it's quite attractive so didn't want to bring unwanted attention to my car..

Anyway i killed it so this can be closed.
