Are the lights on even if the ignition is turned off ?
My old B reg had the side lights on whenever the ignition was on a bit like the Volvo day running lights, to turn them off there is a connector on the back of the little cubby hole above the clock. Pull the cubby hole out and disconnect the connector.

Do the rear lights stay on too?
Could it be that the stalk switch needs cleaning or worst case replacing?

Sounds like the light stalk/switch or a relay to me.

And to me. Does the switch feel right, nice and clicky when you twist it?
