Ambient Lighting LED install question

I just recently did a complete LED interior install on my 2014 C250 Sport sedan.

My issues is that the floor lighting stays on but in a dimmed mode.(while driving) With the halogen bulb it was hardly noticeable. However, with LEDs it's a little brighter than my taste. Any ideas on dimming these lights more or disabling the feature all together.

I just don't like noticeable lights on in the interior while I'm driving.

I guess my question was, is there a way to dim it more? Because the led is brighter than than the halogen in "the dim mode"

you can try tinting the cover with film. Can layer it as much as you want till you achieve the brightness you desire. That way you maintain the color, while reducing the brightness in ambient.
