Default Position light stays on!!!

Hello club lexus

I hope someone could assist me with solving my light problem!

The car is a 1993 LS.

The problem is that the Position light stays on after shutting the engine and leaving the car. Doesn't matter if I try to turn on/off the light switch arm or lock, unlock the car. They only way I can shut it of is by taken the negative battery pole off! Has anyone experienced this before?
I'm not sure that its called position light in english but here's a pic that shows the lights I'm speaking of (marked with red)

Is it connected to an aftermarket alarm system?

does your interior dome light stay on too? sounds like a door sensor died.

Hi guys

Thanks for the feedback

I just found the problem. It was the taillight relay! A bit tricky to get to, because its mounted above the fusebox in the cabin.
