J Tech interior LED's glow
So I bought these off amazon and they work great or so I thought. I put these in my 2014 max and they have a glow after the lights go off. Any reason, is there an issue? Any help would be appreciated.

They do go off. Just don't know how long it takes. I sat in car for 5+ minutes with nothing on and they still were glowing...faintly. Just don't want to mess with them if they are going to wear the battery down. Don't know how much they draw like this?

Nothing.
LEDs are usually rated at 1.5-5V. The cars system is 12V-14V.
A series of resistors and capacitors are used to protect the LEDs.
When power stops, the capacitors discharge and keep the LEDs glowing until there is no more current.

The power cut outs for the car within 10 minutes or so. My Nissan Frontier does the exact same thing after I replaced it with LEDs. You can add a resistor to it, but I don't see a point, there's no ill effects to the battery or longevity of the LED.
