Default Side lights staying on???

Hi All,
I have a 2004 STI and for some reason the front side light plus rear lights are now always on even after the engine has been turned off and the car locked??

Any answers would be greatfull!

Cheers

Chris

Dunno if its the same but on my wrx 93 theres a parking light switch on top of the steering coweling, if you've knocked that then they will stay on all the time. Usual mistake anyway.

lol, this is a hidden switch! even to an M.O.T garage They put down a fail on side lights not staying on with ignition off. Had to point the sitch out to him so he could adjust the result. Wouldn't have minded, but the guy was an **** and didnt shut up about how many subaru's hes had..... you would have thought he'd have know by now wouldnt you?
