Default Lights will not turn off

Hey Guys,

I noticed yesterday that my park lights and the front headlights would not turn off. Not the main headlights, but the small low beam ones that are the setting before the headlights turn on. Usually even if my headlights are on and I remove the key from the ignition all lights will switch off, though not now.

Any ideas as to why they will not turn off? Has anybody else experienced this before?

I've had to take out the small blubs from the front lights and diconnect the rear parking lights...probably not too safe....but I don't want to drain the batt.

Cheers for the help!

We get customers in at work all the time with the same problem. They think they have major electrical prolems. Then when you flick the switch they feel like total dickheads hahaha

Hope you didn't flatten your battery mate......
