Do you meen the parking lights instead of the headlights? Well on camaros the fogs can be on w/o the headlights, using the fogs switch.

Yes, its one click over not all the way which is called the parking light switch. It turns on your fog lights and since your running lights are on anyway, they turn on. Then if you click over one more time it turns on your headlights. If you turn on your head lights, then click back to the click before your lights will stay up but off, and your fogs will stay on.

do your headlight motors grind when you turn them off, if so, they will go up when you turn the parking ligths on.

proper operation parking position, coming from off, the lights will stay down.

Parking light position, coming from headlight position, the lights will stay up (for washing them)

If your headlights come up when you turn the parking lights on, then you need new gears.
