LED Map Lights

So,

I just received my LED Map lights and license plate LEDs. License plate has issues, I won't get into that in this thread, but the Map lights remain on all the time.

So my car is off and it's off for hours and I look inside and my LED maps are dim as dim can be, but they're still semi lit. Not even enough to illuminate the car, and you wouldn't even notice it if you didn't directly look at the map lights.

Is this a problem?

No, LED's require such little power to run that they stay dimly lit all the time. I have had mine for 3 years now and never had a problem. It's like a hazy glow all the time. No worries.
