That looks super dim to be draining out your battery any time soon. But it would annoy me enough to swap it out.
But I don't think they should be glowing like that unless theres parasitic power getting to them. Have u tested the voltage at the contacts when off?

I highly doubt it and it would probably take a VERY long time. They current draw on those is minuscule most likely.
I'd just be more annoyed than anything. Almost all LEDs do this even the home replacement ones. It picks up the tiniest amount of current flow.

Mine don't do that on any of them and I've replaced every interior bulb with LEDs. OP I responded in another thread to this but I'll repeat myself here. Pull the bulbs, flip them 180* and re-install. Some LEDs are fickle about their orientation.

I did and that's why I added my experience. I changed out my interior bulbs with LED's over 7 years ago and they have never given off any light unless they were turned on, maybe I'm just lucky.
