X5 had me tripping?

[Ecko]

Ok so my neighbor knocks on my door and tells me my lights are on and I swear there off. Anyhow so I go check the X and my right front/rear parking lights are on. I'm like WTF. I'm immediately thinking a bad LCM but damn not my X it can't be. Well to make a long story short I noticed that my turn signal lever was in the up position thus the right parking lights on. I moved it two clicks down and yup my left side turned on. Note that the vehicle is completely off and they are not flashing. Looked to me like a safety feature. Now for the best one of all, I push forward on the high beam and now my Xenon's turned on. I'n order to turn them off you have to turn your parking lights on then off. So really my question is, is this a safety feature or a sign of a LCM going bad I'll be checking my owners manual, hmmm
