I bought led interior light bulb too. But for some reason, even when the doors are closed it still glows half power. Very odd.

Free seat warmer.
One thing the designers definately did right,
When you leave the motor at night, remove seat base (2 seconds)
Take indoors and lean on radiator.
Get up in morning, take dry and toasty warm seat base and refit to motor (2 seconds)
Result, lovely dry, warm seat for no pennies and no wiring.

I use these in both my 90 and my wife's Freelander.
Although they have pretty much been superseded now they still work fine and are amazingly bright with practically nil current draw or heat generated.
Bought from China at under £10 for ten, they were selling in the UK for nearer £10 each at the time so I more than recovered the purchase cost by selling the spare seven on.

I do a little wee. Only lasts 5 mins though and then goes cold. And smelly.
Its one of the switches in the door (in my case the passenger) not being fully open when the door is closed (if you see what I mean
). Probably a bit of water/muck in it ... Part number PRC8548 - seems to be around £3 unless you want an LR one @ £45 PRC8548 | Interior Light Switch Contact - Land Rover Part PRC8548

Something else to tend to. I'll just stick the original bulb back in. It didn't do it with thatIts one of the switches in the door (in my case the passenger) not being fully open when the door is closed (if you see what I mean

Pull it out and try to clean it with WD40 ...
if that works - give a smear of petroleum jelly to help protect it ...
It is still doing it but not drawing enough power to light the bulb as the old one takes (circa) 400mA's to shine brightly and the LED/SMD version probably needs less than 1/3rd of that.
Try cleaning it like wot Dippy said ...
