Weirdness with lights doing stuff they shouldn't, is nearly always down to a poor earth connections so all you have to do is determine which earth point services these particular lights and then strip/clean or replace earth points/etc to make good.

behind the fuse box.

pull each and ever earth off , clean and remove the earth crown - screw in the center
clean body and earth mount

leaking windscreen can cause bad corrosion

refit covering connections with grease
