Reach under the dash on top of the light switch. There is a small button you have to push fairly hard while pulling on the ****. When you do this the lights will be on so you will have to push the **** back in to turn them off. If you push too hard it will snap back in.

x2 :) What jimlj said.

Here's a picture of the button, it's near the front of all places,
but unhooks the switch's rod near the back...

You can see the groove it catches on near the tip...
