- Silver CX-5 GT AWD
I've noticed my front turn signal switchbacks stay on white too for awhile after I shut the car off but not the LED daylight running lights like on yours.
This happened to the pair I bought off of eBay. I guess accessory is still on after you turn off the car & the LEDs draw little power for them to light up very dim.So, it finally got dark outside and I decided to go take a look at the new LED bulbs I just installed. When I put my CX-5 to neutral, I get the full 6000K Xenon White shine 68 SMD LED. However, when I turn the park light on (hand brake on), I notice that the LED's are still running, but only 26 of the 68 were running.. not bright, but still running (shown below).
I then turned off the CX-5 and walked away, I noticed it was still on. It stayed on for approximately 1 minute and 38 seconds before shutting off. After it had completely shut off, I decided to lock it with the key fob (even though it had automatically locked as I walked away) and noticed it turned back on again (shown below).
Anyone else notice this? Is that common for these LED's?
Any chance you have a pic of those installed?
From base to tip, it should be no longer than 30mm.@SayNoToPistons - any chance you have taken the measurement of the stock 194 license plate bulb? I'm looking at some online but don't want to buy ones that are too oversized if they won't fit. And I'm too lazy to leave my desk right now and go measure them. Thanks!
Edit: These are the ones I'm looking at... any thoughts?

As long as they stay off, you're fine.
I always checked mine to see if they were on.
They started flickering after a few months so I bought another pair from vleds, they didn't stay on after the car turned off.

all your LEDs mean nothing if you havent installed vleds v3 tritons. best bang for your buck!

What is the purpose of making the licence plate so bright? I would rather hide it. I have installed dark Plexiglas covers over them. The plates, blend better with the car then those bright white plates.
The ones I got from vleds didn't clip in either so I dremeled the notch off & used electrical tape to secure them. They have not disconnected since last summer.Sometimes 1st world problems suck too... After having issues with the iJDMTOY DRL lights I received, I ordered some new ones from VLEDS and I have the same problem. The P13W bulbs don't fit correctly in the harness so it won't lock. It appears the pins are too long for the shallow harness. I tried modifying the iJDMTOY bulb and still couldn't get it to fit, then was only able to get half of my money back. Also, I ordered license plate LED lights from VLEDS and they sent me the wrong color.
Pain in the a$$...

OUCH!
I don't know why people go with iJDMTODY or VLEDS, I've been using http://www.superbrightleds.com/ for years, the quality is good and so much more cost effective. I hade some number plate and parking light LEDs running for years on my Subaru and am just about to replace my CX-5 interior lights now
