When you turn the headlight switch to the point that the interior lights come on (the click past the highest dash light setting) the bed light (the clear light) will come on. This is the only way to turn it on/off, just as a reminder the interior lights will be on the whole time the switch is in that setting.

I tried to find the switch side of the power going from the light switch to the light itself. I may need to pull the switch out and check for a wire near,but not hooked up
