Smile My lamp indicator won't turn off

as was stated, my lamp indicator light wont turn off. It only goes on when I turn my lights on, but I have not bulbs out. I just replaced the battery and it is still on. If someone can help me out, that'd be awesome.

Did you check the license plate lights and those little parking lights in the top corner of the headlights. Sometimes they get missed when checking for a bulb out.

Ok the coast is clear, it was the little parking light. I had checked it before, but it has just gone out. The filiment must have been going out or something. Well thanks for the help!

Wait! Do you know any good places to get the bulbs? Or should I just go to autozone or something.

If it were my license plate lights going out, you would look into a water leak from where the spoiler into the trunk?

No. They just go out like other lights. A spoiler leak wouldn't likely affect the plate lights. (in my opinion)

When my spoiler was leaking, the water would pool in the license plate light housings and cause the bulbs to blow. I repaired the leaking gasket and the bulbs haven't blown since.

Mine would just drip into the trunk when I opened the hatch.... just goes to show that no two cars are the same.....

New problem! How do I change the bulb? lol
I spent an hr and a half trying to pop that bad boy out, but its too awkward for my hands, and the needle nose just strips the housing. Do I have to remove the whole headlight?
