    I have a problem with my car lights...

    All right... the lights are working ok, but when I turn off my car, some of the lights (inner lights, rear bumper lights and licence plate lights) are still on

    can anyone knows how to solve this??

    switch on?

    Or a short some where, pull fuse until they go out, then track down what circuit after that.

        find out what circuit it's on, then with a meter or physical look, of the wires. if there is a broken wire, there it is. The other way is you just check voltage on things that are off, and when they have power, there is a problem. It's not easy to track and you will need to get into hard spots.

        You might also want to check the relay and make sure there is not a spare fuse stuck in the fuse box.
