Default Help Please!!!!

I've done a search and found nothing on this.
The Car: 92 SC300.
The problem: The problem I seem to be having is when I remove the key from the car and shut the car off the lights stay on. Both interior lights on the dash and headlights. Its weird it just starting doing this out of nowhere.

Things I've already checked: So far I've check the dimmer switch, the headlight switch and the fuses. I'm super stumped and I've never had something like this happen before. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance-Jay

Even though the car starts fine? Does the inside of the cylinder just wear out?

Do they stay on even after you open the door? My lights stay on until I open the door, then they all turn off

No there are switches with the rotating mechanism of the cylinder that sense its position, one of them crapped out.
