Default Spark Plugs

I am having problems with my head lights and tail lights some times my head light don't turn off even when i turn them off in the truck and sometimes my head lights are on but my tail lights arn't its weird and i looked it up online and its a problem with allot of people. apparently it has some thing to do with the spark plugs and ford should've had a recall but didn't. Does any one know any info or had this problem on there truck?

I've never had this problem, but I think I've read about it on here and most people find that they need a new GEM.

Your head lights/ Tail lights have NOTHING to do with your sparl plugs! Your problem is likely in your headlight switch or other electrical wiring/grouds on your truck. The ignition system is completely independent of the lighting system and has no relevance whatsoever.
