Lights are on when a circuit (a path for electricity to flow through) is complete, and light is produced when electricity passes through the bulb because the material is energized by electricity, causing it to give off electromagnetic radiation. Most of the EM radiation is in the form of visible light, but some is in infrared which is why light bulbs (especially incandescent) get hot. When you turn off a switch, the circuit is broken at the switch, so electricity does not flow through the bulb.

How do you adjust the brake light switch on a 1996 dodge truck?
What do you mean adjust it? Its a switch, its either open or closed. ie, on or off. The "switch" is open or closed but the "switch" has an adjustment on it, a lever to get the travel of the "open or closed switch" correct. Otherwise the brake lights stay on all the time. Can anyone "REALLY" answer the question, and not be a ?@#$%#@?

The rear lights of your car will still on even if your car was off because the switch was turned on and it will still remain on until the battery's out.
