Lightbulb Sidelights stay on

Hi please help I've got a headlight issue my sidelights won't turn off (and it's NOT the parking switch) They go off when the ignition is off but stay on the rest of the time. If I turn the switch off the sidelights stay on and the relay under the steering column starts ticking. Is it the relay or the switch maybe? Please help

pop the switch and disconnect one side of the switch - or pull the connection plug on the back of it - im not sure how its connected.
By removing the switch and open circuiting the circuit you can see if the lights go out when its disconnected and then go back on when you connect up the switch - its faulty.
