So I changed out my interior lights and tonight I noticed that my map lights have one LED of the 7 that stays lit very dimly. The only way to turn it off is to turn off the master light switch. Now I did purchase my LEDs from two sources on eBay and the batch from one seller has this "pilot light" issue.
1) is this a real concern?
2) should I get the bulbs that turn completely off?

Ya I have the same thing going on with my interior leds. They stay light slightly never was really enough to bother me and eventually you won't even know that they are on.
thanks for the answers, my main concern is a slight drain on battery ... slight I know

The interior map lights do. But they are very very dimly fainted light kinda like a glow stick but not as bright and when you turn them on they are bright. I think that it just has to do with the fact that they are getting some current to them and don't need as much power to make light like stock bulbs do so they glow.

The batch of bulbs that I used all had the faint glow (under the dash, map lights and thet one in the trunk. I decided to buy replacements from the other seller I bought from It may be normal, but I was not comfortable with it. It is likely the design of that particular bulb

I also got my bulbs from autolumination.com. I installed all of them and have one that has the faint glow after you turn the power off in the car. I am just going to leave it as is. I hardy think this one LED will drain the battery!

Just installed mine from V-leds and pretty much all stay dimly lit when they're supposed to be off. Hopefully, this won't be an issue going forward.
for me, only the map lights stay lit with a "pilot light" (only the center bulb of the 7)
