Default battery going bad?

ok truck is doing something wierd, the interior light instead of dimming and going out it goes off like hooked to a light switch. I still have the factory batteries so i know it is about due to replace. the truck still starts fine just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

Wouldn't think it would be the battery to cause that, I'm no master electrician but may be a simple relay that's gone out, are they regular bulbs or led bulbs?
