Narrative:
On right downwind to land on xxl at ZZZ; tower offered a tight visual approach to avoid traffic. We accepted the approach and the captain immediately turned off the autopilot and hand flew the visual approach; intercepting final just inside the final approach fix. We accomplished all checklists and configured the aircraft for a stable approach. After landing; we noticed that the landing light was turned off and realized we were still on approach frequency. We exited the runway; contacted ground and apologized for the mistake. Looking back at the event; I don't believe we were ever instructed to contact the tower. Failure to ensure we were on the correct frequency. I would develop a personal habit of checking the nose taxi light for verification of landing clearance prior to making the 'stable and cleared to land' call out.
