You need to use == signs for your tests. Currently you are setting the value in your if statements not checking it!

Well that is what is wrong with the code you posted!

     void Update ()
 {
     if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown($$anonymous$$eyCode.F))
     {
         if (light.enabled == true)
         {
             light.enabled = false;
             Debug.Log("light is now false");
         }
         if (light.enabled == false)
         {
             light.enabled = true;
             Debug.Log("light is now true");
         }
     }
 }

Are you seeing the debug log messages?

I am getting the "light is now false" debug message, due to the light being on when you first start the game. But even if I dont use the == and just use the = the same thing happens, it just comes up with a warning in the debug log. Have you tried it yourself ingame?

I see what it is :) the second if always happens! I missed the lack of an else:

  else if(light.enabled == false)
