C pillar lights

[64Belvedere]

So I'm putting the c pillar lights back in my 64 Belvedere 2 door Hardtop. Problem is that the light sockets seem to be live all the time. Doesn't matter what position the door pin or head light switch is in. I had the pin switches out last fall and cleaned, and tested them and they work as they should. Culd it be a bad headlight switch? Any ideas?

Can you re-route the wiring so that a relay is tripped when the headlights are on, thus sending power to the c pillar lights?

you have a hot wire crossing someplace....i would start looking at or near the fuse box. did they work properly before you took them out? im not sure exactly what work you had done but a constant hot feed...key on or off usually starts at the fuse box.
