Here is some thing to try turn you lights off before turning you key off and see if they shutoff that way.
The turn you key off and then you lights off and see if they stay on.
If they stay on that way you have a lighted path feature my jeep has it also the lights will stay on for about 15 secs to light your path to your door then they will auto shut off.
try that and tell me what its doong then i can go from there

sorry, Daytime Running Light module. if you guys have that in your american jeeps. i know we do here in canada. it powers the high beams on at half power for daytime driving. common problem on jeeps here.
check on the passenger side of the engine compartment.
you can just disconnect it, i have mine disconnected on my 92, the only side effect is that my high beam indicator light doesn't come on now.

check on the right side of the engine compartment, right behind the washer bottle on the inner fender. pain to get at.
