Blobeye Sidelights stuck on. Help!
Both front sidelights and the rear lights have decided to not switch off anymore, on my 2003 Blob WRX? It's as if the sidelights are switched on, but all the dashboard lights are not illuminated.
I've pulled a 20A fuse in the engine bay fuse box, and it's killed them, but they come back on when i put the fuse back in.
Help!

Just done a search, apperantly the switch is in the same place, on top of the steering coloum. Flick it and they should go off when the ignition is off.

Aaaaahhhhhh! 
I had spotted that red marker on the hazard switch, but foolishly never thought anything of it. All I had to do was
I cleaned the dash earlier, and must have flicked it with the cloth.
I'll get my coat!

It's a safety feature...ha ha ha.
Personally, what a good idea, don't ring some bells that tell you the lights are on, just switch the ******* off unless told different!

It caught me out on my first scoob, driving it home after buying it, pulled into the services, and noticed them on. I spent 15min looking to turn them off, untill i rang the guy i bought it from, felt quite stupid after.....
i had the same problem..... I called an auto electrician, He laughed and charged me a call out fee
(who thought of that)
