Interior LED's has anyone experienced this?

I have recently changed out all my interior bulb's with LED's. The rear reading lights have current flowing and stay slightly lit even when the car is off. Anyone else seen this?

Mmmmm... I don't know about that. If there is a switch (or toggle) to turn on/off something, then off should be off and the circuit cut once off. There shouldn't be a "trickle" flow of anything going through. I would get it looked at, the switch might be stuck or something causing current to still flow.
