I drove my X5 to the ocean to watch the stars sitting on the tailgate, with a bottle of wine and a beautiful woman at my side. Then I realized the two rear hatch lights would not go out. The interior light switch would not turn them off, nor wouuld they "time out". I pulled the bulbs to enjoy the darkness that night. I spent an hour the next day looking for the right fuse to pull to turn them off, couldn't find it. Spent another day thinking about splicing a hidden switch in. Then it struck me! I reached up, and closed the open hatch latch with my thumb (two clicks), the light went out. Neat trick! Remember to open the latch before you close the hatch. Enjoy
