Z32's didn't come with running lights, I'm guessing you are referring to the parking lights? The combination switch is known to fail after 20 odd years of service, might be as simple as that. The lights coming on wiht the brake lights usually means bad aftermarket wiring from an aftermarket stereo, a shorted socket, or a loss of ground. No easy fix you gotta take the time to track and check all the sockets and grounds.

Helps to know where you are located. Canadian models require running light, while the US do not.
