Automatic interior light flattens battery overnight ?

Anyone experienced this one? On my d4 2011 commercial if I have the interior lights on auto, my battery will be flat in the morning. The lights never appear on when on the drive. when I lock it, they go out. I’ve tried numerous times putting it down to coincidence, but I can guarantee a flat battery if they are on auto. I fitted led bulbs last night but not sure that will cure it, something must be wrong somewhere ?
Thanks guys

Checking puddle lights........... mmmmmmmm........ bit like closing the fridge door to see if the light goes out.

Maybe take the lamps from the puddle lights and leave it in auto Idea If it is them then it may solve your mystery. But not your problem.

Good luck.

I think it does show up if looked at from the right direction and it's dark. ISTR MrH discovered this trying to track down a similar problem.

Puddle lights can be viewed on a closed rear door from the opposite side window.

Disabling puddle lights?

Has anyone a suggestion on how to disable the puddle lights all together? We are camping and found out that leaving the doors open, the interior lights off, still drained the battery. Not nice when you are miles from nowhere.
