The front map/reading lights are turned on by the switches in the center of the overhead console. To replace these lights with LEDs, follow the step-by-step process.

For the 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude, the interior lights shut off automatically after 15 seconds when the engine is off even if the doors are still open. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound when this light turns on.

To turn the overhead lights on manually, look to the left of the steering wheel where the circular headlight switch is located. To the right of the headlight switch is a roller switch for the interior light. The solution is to dial back the console lights a bit and turn off the interior lights.
