Analysis
After a night landing, the plt went to the end of the rwy, then started a 180 deg turn to the right onto a parallel taxiway. He intended to head the opposite direction on the taxiway, which was not lighted. As he turned, the landing light (installed on the left wing) was on. He inadvertently turned too wide, went off the taxiway & converged on a Cessna 150 parked nearby. Subsequently, the left wing tip hit the empennage of a Cessna 150, N19094. The plt did not see the unattended Cessna until just prior to impact.
