i dont think that there is a switch. mine has a mercury switch. i dont think that they actually use mercury anymore. but the way they used to work is after enough angle the mercury would move in the tube it was in and trigger the switch to activate the light. so yeah, if the light wont turn off, either unplug it or take the bulb out.

The way I did my underhood led was to remove the bulb and tap into the actual bulb socket for the led power.
