Interior light LED conversion

[08Jetta]

Hi guys after a bit of advice. I have just changed all my internal globes to LED and the work fine. The issue is when the interior switch is on to turn the lights on when the car is unlocked or a door is open they work great until you lock it. When the car is locked they stay on ever so faintly.

However when you turn the main switch off ( when you unlock the car all interior lights stay off) they are completely
Off.

My question when the switch is set to doors only does some ever so slight current still run through? Will this be a drain my battery or is it the same as standard gives there is always current running through?

Thanks gurus!

Yeah some of the cheaper LED lights have a different resistance and so they have a residual glow. Mine glow if the auto-dipping mirror is switched off.

Mine also have the after-glow for 30-40 seconds after I lock the car but then they turn off completely when the systems shuts the car power down.
