Look carefully at your headlight switch. There are 2 additional locations after the off position. One for Left and one for Right. That is for when you have to leave your car on the side of the road and only put on the parking lights on 1 side of the car. Some European thing, I have seen it mentioned for use when double parking as well...
Anyway, it only works when key is off, so if you accidentally have it in one of the positions, and drive around it will be normal until you turn off the car. I guess this is so you can't go L-R-L-R and impersonate a cop while driving.
