Weird courtesy light problem.

I have a 1993 Olds cutlass supreme. My question has two parts.

First when I got my car from the body shop I noticed the 2 rear lights on by the cloths hanger plastic peice on. When I turn the switch on the 2 by the feet and the arm rest turn on. But the back 2 will not shut off.

Also I looked a bit tonight but it was about 5 degrees here so I gave up.
Where is that fuse located so I don't have to disconnect the baterry all the time. I have to remove stuff to do that. Thanks for any ideas you may have. Happy Turkey day!!

Any switches in the back that controls them? There should be a fuse for CTSY or lighter or clock that can be pulled...
I have no expperience with those years, but I am sure someone else here does...

Thanks for posting Rob. Sweet car. I think I should have let the lights burn all night . Not enough light to drain battery I don't think. I took a look and each light has an on off switch. I'll have to ask the body shop what prompted them to do that. They did a great job but a small section of edging strip raised up. Finnally a "cheap" fix.

Thanks...
I would not leave them on. They would not drain a good battery, but if it was older, it could have some effect on it. Were you just able to turn them off? Hope so... Maybe the shop guys were sitting back there having a few beers when the job was done...
