   There are different settings for the light,push on the edge of the light to change the setting.Do not leave it with the light on and doors closed or you`ll end up with a flat battery.Either this or your boot isn`t closed properly mate.

   Its gotta be the door or boot switches nothing else makes it come on.

    when you open your door, looking towards the wheel, there is a little black button that turns the lights off when the door presses it, when its closed. Make sure its not stuck and pull it out if it is

    Loosen the wheel arch liner & see if you can poke the wire back through from that side.
