Weird, Partially Lit clocks problem

I've got a 6L cordoba and with me driving it mostly in the dark at the moment I've noticed that my clocks remain partially lit when I turn everything off. Even when I get out of the car and lock it you can still see a faint red glow from the dials around the 3000-4000 rpm region of the rev counter.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm not having any other issues with the car and it's a minor thing at most (it's not enough to flatten the battery even after a few days) but I thought I would start a thread on it as a curiosity if nothing else.

take your led lights out for a week and try it

might be the cheap crap resistors etc inside leaking current
