sounds quite cool but i can see it would get annoying. prehaps a short circuit somewhere with maybe a fuse gone or not gone. just check everything :)

Ye, and make sure ur cabless rnt touching the ur bodywork at all!!! This will give a -ve connection and create a circuit causing ur lights to come on!!

I had his problem, I replaced a bulb, I think 4 the brake light and it was with the wrong kind of bulb. As soon as I changed to the right kind it went back to normal.

I had the same problem, but it turned out to be my battery was almost completely flat, replaced the battery and all was ok!!

Sounds like one of the the rear brake/tail light bulbs is twisted slightly in it's holder connecting the brake light and lamp circit together. Remove both rear bulbs and refit them carefully the right way.

Check you have the twin element brake/tail bulbs and not just normal single element tail bulbs.
