Both will drain the battery.

The OEM interior lighting is controlled by the body control module. It will turn them off after about 45 minutes to keep the battery safe.
That true for the "map lights" also? The ones you tap to turn on?
That's what I was explaining. Maybe I wasn't clear.
The map lights are turned on manually (tap them with your finger). There's no way for the BCM to override a manual switch. The map lights will drain the battery.
