It's nice to finally be able to read the gauges at night... one thing I find really odd is the glow in the bulbs when the battery is disconnected. I hope it's the capacitor in the distributor, not the car slowly disoving and generating its own electricity...
We had a household LED bulb that used to do that. I read that it can be caused by poor quality bulbs and a switch that lets through a tiny amount of when off, or an earth wire with very high resistance or not making a good connection. Another reported reason- and this takes some believing - electromagnetic induction allows one cable running alongside another to pick up sufficient juice to just let the lamp glow. The latter cause is, I suppose, just like laying an induction loop alongside the live rail of the electric train line at the bottom of your garden and getting a free supply to your garden shed.
