Recently decided to put LED dome lights in, fairly straight forward except that the dome lights now are on all the time. The lights will only turn off when the engine is off. Just wanted to see if anyone has had this issue and a fix for it.
Additionally, the bulbs for my front dome lights are the same as the rear light, in all of my 15 minutes of googling I can only seem to find front bulbs made for the new style double bulb front dome light that are still labeled for my year.

Some LEDs, especially cheap ones, just don't play nice with the CANbus and I suspect that is what you are seeing. I tried LEDs long ago in my '13. My buddies with 14's had some and threw a few my way. They worked fine in their '14s, and in my '13 nothing but issues. the rear light was fine, the center light was fine itself....but caused my map lights on the rearview mirror to stay on full time. I ended up just sticking with the factory lights. Did the lights you bought specifically say they were CANbus compatible?

Kind of surprising then since they specifically said they were compatible. Our CANbus is just weird. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance. Maybe someone else will chime in.
