Dome lights

Hi guys need help again, I bought LED dome lights for my 2003 Tacoma and the don’t work like they should. The main one will not go on when the door is open unless the key is on , any info would be good ? Thanks

 

I'd read that this will happen with some brands. I have this going in as well but I was considering the option of rewiring the dome lights to something with constant power.

Maybe someone can recommend a brand that works right too.

 

Easy option is to solder a resistor onto the dome bulb. I used a 1 ohm, but it was suggested to go to 3 or 4 ohm. I will if and when I need to change that bulb, but it's been 3 years since I fixed.

 

I’ll try the resistor sounds like a good idea, thanks for the response guys

 

Any links how on DIY? Thanks in advance.
