I have just installed LED light upgrade in my 2015 polo blue GT looks much better but the ctr led in the driver overhead console is always on slightly.
It lights up fine when you unlock band dims down when locked but always says on very dim.
Wondered if anyone else has had the problem and has found a solution?
Does that bulb need to be canbus on that bulb only?

Sometimes it can be a dodgy connection, but if it’s flickering slightly make sure all the bulbs are canubus LED’s
Not just that one

It's the dimming circuit not fully turning off.

You wouldn't notice it with a filament lamp but the led uses so little power it will still light slightly.

Would just learn to live with it rather than sticking "canbus" lamps in there.
