You should be able to turn the light out by turning the whole light assembly to the left / right which turns it on/off. Nice option.

From 1977-79 RPO ZX2 Convenience Group featured several "lighting" features to include the rear spare tire light. In 1980, it became base equipment.

The package consists of the a dome light delay, headlight warning buzzer, underhood light, low fuel warning light, interior courtesy lights and the right side visor mirror.
