Because back then some states required "daylight driving lights"...low intensity headlights all the time to increase visibility (so others would see you more easily.)
This can be reprogrammed so the lights are NOT always dimly lit...but it takes a Saab dealer to do it. I had taken my SAAB in to have some minor programming changes and had them deactivate the "daylight driving lights" feature at the same time.
I think the dealer charged me $50 for each feature I had them reprogram...guess you can get away with this when there aren't any alternatives to changing programming, as the interface to do so is not available.
What else can I help you with?

Why are cars designed to leave lights on when ignition off?
Let's say you park your car outside at night and not in a garage. The AUTOMATIC lights will stay on long enough to light the area up and give you time to get inside. They will then go off. Lights in a car without auto lights are designed to be turned on without the ignition being on for safety reasons. If you are driving along at night and your ignition fails you lights will still be on. Also lights draw too much amperage to be routed through the ignition switch.Let's say you park your car outside at night and not in a garage.

What makes interior lights come on and stay on while driving Chevy Caprice Classic?
The dimmer switch when turned just past high, turns on the interior lights. There are switches in the door opening that turns the lights off when the door is closed. Either one of these can cause the lights to stay on if they fail.
