Default V70 Interior Lighting - Canbus - Help Needed

Hi all

I bought some canbus interior LEDs on Ebay for my '03 V70 which look incredible but...

1) they remain on permanently when the car is running (albeit dimly) which is quite annoying
and
2) a previous post on the topic indicates an electrical feed to them may always be live and as such slowly draining the battery (no idea if true or not or only when car is on, sounds like the latter to me)

Can anyone advise where I can get some LEDs which do not remain on permanently when driving? Issue of resistance I believe. Preferably not a ridiculously expensive set, the price differences seem extreme for a very similar looking product.

Canbus or not they seem to have the same always on problem, I have asked a couple or Ebay retailers.

Thank you oh wise bunch :-)
