Default Licence plate lights on all the time?

Hi Guy's
Can you help.
Just noticed as dark outside, that my Licence plate lights are very faintly lit all the time.
They work fine and are nice and bright, when switched on with the lights.
Switch lights off and the licence plate lights are on all the time, very faintly.
Any ideas, any help much appreciated.
Kind regards Dave.

Are they LED's?. If not then you may have a slight grounding issue.

They could be led's as i did notice that they are a very bright white light.
Will check tomorrow when light.
If they are led's is it a known problem?
Thank you Dave.

If they are then check they have the resistor fitted. Many people have reported the same issue when changing to LED's.

You could put in the original type lamp and see if that cures it.
