Nope, I gave up on my '13. Was not worth the effort for me. For whatever reason the CANbus on the '13 just never liked LEDs in the dome lights, even "CANBUS-friendly" LEDs that I've seen. Maybe others have found something. I just didn't care enough.

So what did you do to turn them off?

I didn't use LEDs. I just stuck with the regular bulbs from the factory. It's not like they give off less light IMO, it's just warmer yellow rather than cool white.

Perhaps Jeep has an answer?
Same,same. I believe if you put a resistor on the interior lights it will solve the problem, but I haven't tried it and I'm not planning to. It's working just fine for what I wanted and I don't think those mirror lights do that much anyway.

I now have the same problem, except I put LEDs in the rear of the Jeep years ago. The map light problem started just after my windshield was replaced. 😒
From what I've seen, there really isn't a resolution aside from changing the now old LED's.
