Default Help - Front side lights and rear tail light stay on when lights off and engine off

Drove back today on 4 hour drive and when stopped and switched lights and engine off, and got out, noticed side lights and tail lights still on. Quickly checked wires for the obvious but to dark. Only option was to disconnect battery until daylight. Does anyone have any ideas?

Correct answer, it was parking light switch. To easy to switch on by mistake that one. Thanks again. Battery reconnect and alarm on.
