I believe that it should only be on when your headlights are on.
I think if it's on all the time there might be something wrong
and you should get it checked out.
There are a lot of members of the forum that will reply to this that are more knowledgeable then me and I'm sure you will get the straight skinny.
I would check it out with the headlights on and off first though.
Should go out when the lights are turned OFF.
Regards
Jim
Remember if you are going to party hardy
this holiday season and you partake make sure that you have a designated driver 
. We need all of the forum members around after the New Years.

Ya can't! It's a courtesy light, and it used to be on only when the headlights were on. It's purpose is to illuminate the console area - but I don't understand the point of having it on all the time. My buddy has an '04 convertible and pointed it out to me - telling me it's on all the time.
My '98 convertible, that light only comes in with the headlights. It doesn't matter anyway - my V1 fit right below it, so it's covered up. Maybe a piece of duct tape isn't such a bad idea. I think they make it in black!

black electrical tape might give you a better apearance than duct tape....
(I heard that "duct tape" was in fact origionally called "duck tape")
