First two places I would look are the light switch, and the light relay. You can try to disconnect the wires from the switch and see if that turns the lights off. You can also test the relay to see if that is stuck on. Electrical problems without wiring diagrams are very difficult to trace. Use a test light to verify power on/off. Your owners manual may show you where the relay is. I don't know if there is one relay for the headlights and park lights or two separate. Parking lights may not even need a relay as the current draw may be low enough and so only go through a fuse. Disconnect the relay and see if the lights go out.
