New Light Making My Idle Rougher?

I have installed a new Interior Light Set, License Plate LED Light, and Side Marker LED Lights on my 8, here are the links:

License Plate:

Side Markers:

Interior Light Set:

Ever since I installed all of these, my idle has been very rough coming to a stop while my lights are on. So common sense makes me think that these lights are for some reason making my idle rougher.

Is actually the reason, or would it be something else?

Only thing remotely close that I can think of is you tapped into the same circuit as the ROOM fuse.
Reason I say this is that pulling the ROOM fuse will reset the ECU, which will cause idle "issues" while the fuel trim is relearning itself.
But even if that is the reason, it shouldn't continue to occur after a couple drive cycles.

I never touched any fuses or anything. Just replaced the stock bulbs...that's it.
