Ashtray issue

[fullthrottle52]

I just got home from the first 1000 trip in my box over the holiday weekend. I have a question about the ashtray. It was the first time I drove for hours after dark. After about 2 hours, the center console got pretty hot. I flipped up the cover on the ash tray and the light was on. It comes on when you turn your lights on, but is it suppose to go out when you close the cover? I don't see a switch to shut it off when the cover is closed. Also, how do remove the little light bulb from it's socket? I will be ordering an ashtray delete soon but would like to deal with the situation now.

P.S. trip went without a hitch. Drove 9 hours on Monday in 95 degree temps with air running hard without missing a beat

Thanks for any help.
