Default Headlights glowing after shutdown (and draining battery)

I have a strange issue with my 2008 Vette. When the car shuts down, the headlights seem to have a very low powered glow that stays on. I played around with the momentary switch that makes the overhead lights stay on and that didn't make any difference. Anyone ever seen this before and what should I try next (I had to jump the car today as it was sitting most of the week and I expect the lights were in this condition and I just didn't notice.

Maybe, they are not on and this is just how they look? I just browsed a set of C6 frontal shots on google and a number of the photos looks sort of like my shot above. I'm going to have to wait until the sun sets and take a look when there is no ambient light. Anyway, if the shot above looks normal to anyone, please let me know.

FWIW. Try this at night to confirm this a bulb glow.
Photo appears as normal reflections to me.
Let us know.

Put it in the garage last night, no glow so just ambient light when outside I guess. Seems to be charging okay so I'll have the battery tested.
