I have a wired deal, with the car off the turn signal stalk will turn on the parking lights on one side. So if the lever is down the left lights up. If it is up the right side lights. I do have LED parking and tail lights, something there feeding back? Any help is greatly appreciated.

What is wrong?

That is a safety item if the car is parked on the side of the road. 911's do that too.

I believe that the stock wiring is done that way from the factory.
Let me see if I have this right. If you turn the car off and the turn signal is on it leaves that side lights on.
My '72 from the factory did just that.

Most European cars of the area do that.

It allows you to switch the parking lights to whichever side of the car is facing traffic when you are parked on the side of the road in an unlit area.

As everyone above as said....this is completely normal and the way the car is supposed to operate.
