Yeah this sounds really unusual and you've already taken out the switch and fuse. The wire to the lights is getting power from somewhere. Check the wires around that switch and see if you have any exposed wires that are touching each other. Have you done any modifications to your car lately with the electrical stuff? Try pulling other fuses and see what happens.

...and if you disconnect the battery and the light are still on...RUN. AHHHHHH! Just kidding...these problems suck, but be glad it happened in this way and not something which prevented the car from running.
