If it's a petrol, you push the choke back in, if that doesn't switch it off the switch has detached itself from the cable.  If it's a diesel, it could be that the heater plugs aren't switching off, think they're on a timer relay somewhere.

Black electrical tape?

 :roll:

If it's a petrol engine, do you really need the light anyway? Just remember to push the choke in.

If it's a diesel then why not bypass the standard glow plug system and fit a sprung toggle switch (so it matches the rest of the dash) to operate a relay for the 'plugs'? That way you know when they are on and only on when absolutely needed.
