So, I had the interior lights installed for about 3 months or so now. I just noticed that there is a dim glow to them when I was parked, and doors were locked and car was stilling running, have not noticed since I haven't drove at night much and since it was summer it hasnt gotten dark till later, but tonight I noticed them with a dim glow. I switch it to off the glow goes away and when I switch to on they are on like it should be, but when I switch to door with all the doors close I see this. I just hope it doesn't drain power when the car is off, though I did check that it does go off when I lock the car. Does anyone else have this issue?

I put in a generic 168 LED bulb, does the same thing. They draw so little power i wouldn't worry about it at all. I'll go out after my car has been closed for hours and check anyway.

checked mine after the car was off for a while and there is no light coming from the dome. You're fine.

It is because you used resistor control (voltage control type) LEDs,
the voltage control types are usually really cheap.

Another option is amp control ones,
if you use amp control ones, the brightness is same all the time.
I am using the amp control ones, custom cut design one, and having a same brightness all the time. adjustable brightness.

Mine does the same thing. I reached out to them and they said it's like that and not unexpected.

I’ve used several cheap ones including Yorkim from Amazon, these have been the whitest and brightest and don’t have the dim glow when off:
