Wow my head hurt trying to dechipher that.

So you're saying your lights turn off and on randomly when you set your turbo timer? And you leave your light switch set on the parking lights?

first thing you need to do is check your driver's side kick panel and see if your wiring connections are corroded/water damaged

Problem #1: Its an Evo. Nothing is ever easy or goes right. Hope you get the problem fixed, sounds like a slew of dead batteries and push starts lie in your immediate future.

As Chaotic posted and linked to sticky. Common issue that lies in the drivers kick panel due to water getting into connectors and causing corrosion. Nothing a solder gun and a tube of RTV can't fix
