Why do headlights turn on when the car is off?
Your lights must have been modified in order for this trouble to occur. Normally the light switch supplies a ground connection for the lights and the ignition switch supplies power to the relays which are also controlled by the light switch. Check to see if power is getting to the low beam lights even though they are off.
Why do my tail lights stay on even after I Turn Off the car?

Why do low beam lights turn on when the car is off?

Why do headlights stay on after the ignition is shut off?
If so, try this: Turn the lights off before shutting off the ignition. If your lamps are staying on permanently after: 1) ignition shut-off, and then 2) light switch shut off, suspect something in the headlamp-off-delay feature. (This assumes that your vehicle is equipped with this feature.) Thank you for reporting this comment. Undo

When do you turn off the headlights on a Ford?
Typically, after parking, I’ll turn off the headlights and remove the ignition key. Sometimes the headlights will turn off as expected, but sometimes they stay on. If they are off, usually, within minutes, they will turn on, by themselves. Sometimes, when this happens, they will “randomly” turn on and off a few times or more.

When do headlights turn off when battery dies?
They do not turn off until the battery dies! I tried messing with the switch, and when the headlights turn on, it won’t even let you turn the lights off with the switch, after about 3 minutes it will let you turn them off. But after you go back inside for a few, they turn right back on.
