i have 4 LED tail/brake lights...and with the key on the brake side is on faintly... hook up a regular bulb and that goes away they are completley off and the cruise works as it should...is this simply because the LEDS dont have enough resistance. the cruise works on and off and not at all with the lights on. somthing to do with this... i hook up my trailer with normal lights and the cruise works with the lights on... grounds seem to be good

need a resistor, im not sure what size. been trial and error for some of my past vehicles

shouldnt need much though just enough to turn it off. any more and your brake lights will be dim

I have LED tails as well and mine are on a little bit when it is idling, but not when the engine is off. I dont have a problem with my cruise though.

My led tails are the same way. Slight easy glow with the engine running or key on, but not with the key off.

Doesn't hurt anything. No issues. No problem.
