sounds like you have a switch grounding somewhere. Light switches are in the door jam at the front of the door.

I had a similar issue. I had the 4 way flashers on (yeah I broke down) and the interior lights would flash on and off too. WEIRD! It seems to be a poor ground at the headlight switch, if I wiggle the switch the problem goes away.

Does your car have a courtesy light timer? I had the exact same problem and it was the timer.
