bad earth ssomewhere, check all your earth points.
I once took off an earth strap on one of my old cars and when ever you put on any of the indicators headlights or tail lights they would all come on with about 2-3 volts running to each light.

I think, in cars with parra's anyway, the Earth straps for the lights are off to the sides on inner guards - washer-bottle out on drivers side to see it. On pass side it should be near the neck of the coolant top-up.
Might also pay to check loom coonectors, fuses, relays for poor condition contacts.
