Default LED lights staying on after truck is off (Map Lights)

So I installed this LED interior light kit and now the map lights stay on. The light has 5 LEDs on it and just 1 of them stays on. None of the other lights do this. It's not very bright but enough to see it. Anyone have a similar issue?
Thanks

The backseat dome stays "on" in my truck, been that way for about 2 years with no issues. Its kinda like a dim night light for the kids when we take trips.

After 10 minutes the light shuts off so I won't have battery issues but at night when I'm driving its kind of annoying because it's my map light
