Narrative:

Aircraft #1 was advised on rollout to exit the runway. Pilot concurred but passed the assigned taxiway. Aircraft #1 continued past the next taxiway and passed a closed taxiway to the end of the runway. Aircraft #2 landed and upon completing his rollout had to slow down for aircraft #1, which was still exiting the runway. Aircraft #1 was poorly lighted and was lost in the profusion of lights on the runway and adjacent highway. Additionally, the pilot advised tower long after he missed his assigned taxiway. Due to multi tasks, the error was not observed. Had the pilot advised as soon as the taxiway was missed other options could have been taken. Also, local control should be left to take care of planes not do additional jobs at the same time.
