you could have a short at your headlight switch on your steeringwheel column.. trust me ive had 2 ZXs and they both had simmilar problems... the first thing id do is see if it is the switch.. take out the lower dash panel on the drivers side under your steering column.. then remove the electrial clips that goes to the switch.. if your lights still stay on then youve got a short somewhere else..
