moosin:
anybody have any ideas as why my backup lights stay on whenever i turn on my parking and or headlights?

BlacXJeep:
check the grounding switch for your reverse lights, must have gotten jarred while wheeling.

BlacXJeep:
i don't think reverse lights work when you don't have your headlights on. So it would make sense that if that grounding switch is broken ( its permanently grounded) as soon as you give it a 12v power source your reverse lights would stay on constantly whether you were in reverse or not. Just an idea.

Axle:
Reverse lights should only come on when you put it in reverse.  They do not come on whether or not you have your headlights on.  I agree, check the ground, or the relay.

PaulW:
what's the vehicle?  i'll pull a wiring diagram and see if i can help.
