I do not have an answer, but I do have the same problem as you do. I have a 2001 L200, and from the moment you start the engine, every few seconds, the security light will flash and the temperature and gas gauge needles will act as if you turned off the car, and then pop back up where they should be. When the headlights are on, the dash lights will flash along with the security light and the gauges. The headlights and radio are not affected, though. In addition to that, the odometer has also stopped working. It has read the same milage since I noticed some time ago. I will let you know if I find out anything.
Because the lights were turned on manually instead of letting the automatic headlight illumination circuitry do its own thing. Turn the switch to "OFF" - it's part of the turn indicator arm.
GO AND BUY I NEW light bulb !
First you must be able to use a test light. .. Remove the clam shell that encloses the steering column. Then with the key off and removed find the bundle of wires that go to the light switch. Turn on the head lights and probe the wires one by one till you find one that lights up. STAY AWAY FROM THE YELLOW WIRE BUNDLE THIS IS THE AIR BAG YOU WILL DIE. With the light probe lit turn off the headlights and if the probe goes out you have found the running light wire , try again till the wire goes out as the headlights do.

Check all fuses- many unrelated problemsCheck wiring to fuse boxCheck for loose ground Stop lights and shift interlock should be common circuitDash lights parking/tailights should be common circuit
The Integra uses a dual-filament bulb in the tail light, which has one contact for the running light (the lights you turn on at night) and another brighter one for the brake light (only goes on when you press the brake pedal). You have replaced the bulb with the wrong type. You will need a 2057 bulb for the Integra.
Check the daytime running lights module. This has failed with other manufactures resulting in lights that stay on, or are very dim while the vehicle is running.
There are 3 different things that can cause the security lights to flash constantly on a 2002 Saturn Vue. These things are a bad passlock sensor in the ignition housing, a bad BCM, or a bad PCM.
running or parking lights, or plate light, but that is singular.
Day Light Running Lights.
Check the ground wire to the tail lights.
security lights use resistors as the light out side falls the security light turns on and as it gets lighterbout side the light dimms and turns off, in bmw's the resistors are used to detect when the lights should come on as light gets brighter the car lights turn off.
what about the day running lights? You want to know how to turn them off?If you do then once you start the truck turn the light switch to the left and that shuts them off.
