Need Help...Turning off interior lights with doors open

I recently purchased a camping tent that attaches to the back of my Fit to add more storage/sleeping area. The hatch remains open while attached to the tent. I cannot figure out how to turn off all of the interior lights while the hatch is open. I figured out the dome light. But there is one light in the back left corner opposite the taillight that I cannot figure out how to turn off. If anyone can give me any insight it would be greatly appreciated! I haven't been able to find much information in the Owner's Manual or in other forums. Thanks!

The mod linked above is an easy fix for your problem. Now since that is put to bed I want to hear more details for your attachable camping tent setup and photos please.

Easy answer.. Take a screwdriver and close the latch mechanism so that the hatch thinks it's closed. Then simply leave the door open.

The switch is located there. I have done this many times while working in the back of the car.

Just remember to actuate the handle before you shut the hatch.

.....Can you post a picture of your tent setup?
