At some point you pressed the headlamp button in. Press it again and the light will go out.

On the dash is a dial which is used to turn on the dome lights as well as the headlights. There is a little trick not so apparent. Push this dial in. It is also a button. Yes. It is a button. If you push it this should turn your dome.lights off. Thank you.
