switching off boot lid lighting?how?

[omodos]

Hi all can, someone please let me know how to keep the 2 bootlid lights from coming on and staying on whilst the boot is open? i need to do some loading and long distance driving on the x5 and the bood lid needs to stay open as cannot fit a 6ft bed in the back otherwise, just concerned about battery drain though…..and the other thing it is not a very loading friendly car, finding it difficult to find anywhere I can lash the bed to so as to prevent it from falling out of the back, rear wiper arm and where the boot lid lashes are the only obvious places, any ideas much appreciated





ps turning of interior lighting in the rest of the cabin is possible by pressing down the middle button on the overhead console and holding it down for a few seconds, that deactivates the courtesy lights coming on every time you open the doors, but doesn't work to keep the 2 bootlid lights off.....
