Default Turn Signals lights on? When headlights on?

When I turn on my headlights I get both turn signals lights on. The signals work and when I flip the switch it flashes.. But as soon as I make the turn and the switch goes off the signal light stays on completely. Wouldn't this happen if maybe a light was blown? All my lights work (just got inspected 2 days ago for a highway title they work!). Could this be a fuse or something little? Its just annoying and distracting.

Anybody know? Or are the signals supposed to be on when your driving with your lights on? I know I owned an old wrangler and it did this when the lights were blown or the flasher relay was out. Any ideas?

Replace the bulb in the dash with a 194 you choose the color.

The signal lights do come on when your headlight are on, there called marker light and your signal come on only when you turn the turn signal

Ya my illumination doesnt work either. It only works when I turn it to where it clicks on. So its normal for the turn singal lights to just simply stay on. Thats fine just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that needed to be fixed.

How do I fix the illumination problem? I cant get any light when turning the headlight switch but when I turn it to a click the lights come on.

I've already replaced all of the bulbs behind the dash cluster man. Someone told me it could be messed up wiring behind my radio. But i'm not sure what would be wrong back there?
