Need Help LED Dome light Issue - Pulsating Etc...

Okay, not very electrical savy.... I bought this LED Dome Light bulb replacement for my 07 dodge ram (yes it's the correct bulb)http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I pushed the new light into its place and turned it on from the dash switch. It immediately started pulsating and when I turned it back off at the dash, it was still running, but was very dim (weird since it's suppose to be off. So I read up around some car forums (that haven't been helpful) and found that I may need to put a resistor in between the two connection points. So I bought this and did so... http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...lue=RadioShack

I placed the resistor in between the two connection points and placed the new LED light in position. The "Dim light issue" went away when off, but now when I turn it on it pulsates for maybe a whole second before it just turns off completely by itself.

Not sure what do from here. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd look into a replacement.
