Yeah, you describe symptoms associated with the switch being fried. I asked about parking lights in the front because they go on with the tails with that switch.
They go on without the ignition because in Europe, when you park on the side of a narrow street you have to have lights on. And instead of leaving all your lights on (which would leave the battery drained very fastly), you use that switch so that you don't drain the battery. It's a very cool feature...just that those switches fail on occasion.
