You can turn on or off the interior lights by the switch... Could be a bad door switch or the headlight switch...

Re: interior lights wont shut off.

you have lights at your back seats ... i would like to see a pic ... are they factory? ... i was going to put some in the back of my gta, just not sure what ones i was going to get ... if they are factory i will look for a set of those ... also, do all the other inside lights work with the dimmer ... if so i would start looking for another hidden switch

It is a convertible thing, since there was no dome light.
