Recon 3rd brake light problem

Just bought this cause my stock one is burnt out, it's their smoked led third brake light part #264116BK . Took the old one off, plugged the new one in and instantly the led cargo lights on both sides came on full brightness. Tried the dimmer switch multiple times, closed my doors numerous times, they just stay on with the truck off 100% of the time.

Anyone had this issue? Kinda blows cause it looks bad ***.

The cargo lights should turn on and off with the dome lights just like the factory one. Make sure the dimmer switch is on and if it doesn't go off with dome lights exchange it for a new one yours is bad.

Want some advice send that overpriced junk recon back before the measly 30 day warranty runs out! I have a smoked third first one blew bulbs with a few days second one lasted about three months, called back and was told NOPE WARRANTY IS OVER. I have two cousins who bought recon and same thing bulbs going out or problem with wiring and no support on returns. I have since went to some ebay bought one and it's going strong for over three years with zero problems
