Well, we found out early on with the dome lamps you should either leave one of the incandescents in place or wire a resistor in series. This prevents flicker and lightsstayingon issues. Too low a draw is problematic.

I didn' research this like I usually do, but I think that rear lamp is a module or at least module controlled. I'e seen weird things with led replacement lamps.

The best one is older ford truck with an led 3rd brake lamp can cause the converter to not apply.

I lied. The wiring diagram shows three lamps. Two controlled by switches which are powered by the battery saver relay. All three can be controlled by interior lighting Field Effect Transistor when in the "off" position. Only one lamp is directly controlld by this F.E.T. if the other lamps are manually turned on.
