Glovebox light never goes off

It seems that my glove box light isn't going out ..ever. Even after the car is shutdown the light is still on. I haven't found an obvious "switch" but was wondering if anyone else had that happen to them.

Also the driver side light assembly seems to jitter going down the road... seems like it just needs tightened up, but again just wondering if anyone has dealt with that.

If anyone notices their Passat smelling like gas take it to a dealer.. their is a recall out for the vent valve on 4 motion and heat shields on all passats from 99-05. The dealership replaced my fuel tank, heat shields, and fuel lines, free of charge.

Here is a copy of the recall notice:
