Ambient Lighting

I've done a search and can't figure out for the life of me how to turn the front / rear ambient ligthing off during night time driving. Is it possible? Please bear with me I've had the car for 4 days!

The front light is controlled with a setting in the steering wheel menu system. The rear light has a switch on it to turn it up or down. I suppose you can turn it off there, also. Never tried. I kinda like the lights, myself.

In the steering wheel lighting menu. If I remember correctly its a scale form 0-5 or something like that. It is also key dependant if you have that setting on (you can also turn that off). I also turned of the surround lights to save the battery.
