Strange one - Cameron UK - 13:th-Sep-2014

So I've done the rear led a upgrade a while ago but today I noticed that the rear drivers side tail lights are on when no longs are turned on.

The 2 on the main body are on and the one on the boot, they work correctly on side light and main beam. What could be causing this?

Disconnect the DRL bulbs. Maybe they are causing the power to crossover to the sidelight circuit, so causing the power to backfeed itself to the tail lights

What should I look for after disconnecting? How can I fix it?

Check to see if things are back to normal. If they are, then it will be something up with the DRL bulb. Swap it with a new one

I've got load resistors on the front light as they are led,

Unplug the DRL first, it could be something has melted in the led causing the power to flow from the DRL circuit into the sidelight circuit.

I'm just taking a stab in the dark here, obviously
