Probably a bad switch. Take your steering column apart and get that light switch off. Check the connections w/ a voltmeter. I took mine off when I installed the alarm and it seems to be really poorly made. I actually had to superglue part of mine to keep it from doing what your describing.

It's pretty simple to take off, but if you have problems, write back.

Good luck.

I alredy took the steeing column off And I disconnected the two harnesses that looked like they cam from that switch but they stayed on still. Is there something on there that I'm missing? Thanks

Well I took the entire switch out of the steering column and the lights still stayed on. The harneses and wires all looked ok. I know that mitsus use a ground loop for the lights. So I think that its getting grounded out somewhere. I had a problem about a month ago where my headlights where stuck on like this and I cleaned the corrosion out of the marker light sockets and sealed them off and that was fine then. Now all the lights are on and I cleaned out the sockets again and that didnt help. Anyone have any other suggestions please. I cant get it to a shop till next wednesday and I'm trying to get it fixed tonight. TIA
