Yeah, there's always a tiny residual current in the wiring which a normal bulb doesn't show up...LED's will light up at the tiniest current....mine does the same thing with my LED strip lights in the rear load space, luckily mine have a separate switch so I can isolate them.

My interior light LED's flash in sync with the immobiliser LED, so I have to keep them switched off until needed :lol:
