Headlights won't turn off
I just became the second owner of a 2004 C5 and am having a strange issue. When I start the car, the headlights come up and stay up even with the switch in the off position. Then when I turn it off, they go down.
With the car off, I can turn them on and off with the switch.
Not sure what to do to get them to stop doing this... Help, please..

Is it possible you have twilight sentinel turned on and are in the shade? That is a Canada option I believe.

When Twilight Sentinel is activated, the head lights will automatically turn on when it senses a low level of light and turn off again when the light level is high enough, and turn off automatically after you shutdown. Press the Options button on the right side of the dash and Twilight Sentinel should pop up as one of the first options that you see. It's probably set to "OFF" since you haven't noticed this issue. Besides activating them, there is a 'delay' time setting that determines the amount of time they stay on after you shutdown.
One thing you may notice with the sentinel activated is that the head lights will come on in the garage after you start but not if the parking brake is set. When you release the parking brake, the lights will pop up and on. After I back out into the sun, they turn off a few houses down the street. - See more at: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/....yfp3XMOv.dpuf
