I tried it out today. Changing another color instead of bronze resulted in the same problem for me. When I first get into the car, the map lights are off but changing to any other color (including lilac which I changed to red to test) and back resulted in the map lights turning on. So it was a no go.

Instead, I thought I'd try something else. FF0000 is basically the reddest red you can code. I thought maybe the map lights didn't like turning on at the purest red for some reason. So I reduced the redness down a notch by coding in FE0A0A (which isn't the reddest red but has a very slight pinkish hue to it). And that seems to work for now. Turned the car off, walked away, let it lock and go to sleep, and 10 minutes later, came back to the car and opened the door and the map spot lights were on too. While I can notice the slight pinkish hue when I look at the LEDs directly, it isn't enough to bother me that it isn't pure red. Photo of my interior with the new red below.
