Default WT Fietsa dash lights - can you switch them off?

Stopped last night and had to wait in the car for someone. Switched off main lights but there are the dash lights still on and very irritating. Take at least 3-4 minutes to switch off.
Anyone know if these can be made to switch off earlier?

You could lock the car with your keyfob. That usually turns everything off.

Yeah - its just the tacho, speedo and computer display that stays on. Can't think of any reason why these must stay on so long? Why don't they go out when you turn off the lights or close the door without locking it? Just seems stupid.

It's a little irritating since i leave my car in the garage, it's either lock it with the keyfob which turns everything off, but also locks it. Or just close the door and let it be...
