Default 2006 Touring Edition - Lower lights never turn off

I just bought a used 2006 PT Cruiser Touring Edition yesterday from my Toyota retailer.
It's only got about 14,000 miles on it so it's not that old.

I've attached a picture so you get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
Note: The car in the picture is not my personal car, but I'm using it to give you a better idea of the lights I'm talking about.

Anyways, I noticed that the circled lights are only off when the car is off.
When the car is on, the lights are always on.
I was under the impression that those were fog lights and that they weren't supposed to be lit unless I turned them on... but maybe I'm mistaken?

I've tried fooling around with the fog light switch on the left multifuction switch (pulling it out/pushing it in) but it has no effect.
Even when the upper lights are turned on, the lower lights are always on. Like I said, they are ALWAYS lit, unless the car is turned off.

To make things even more confusing for myself:
I've got a separate on/off switch that can be used to turn those lights on while the car is off. Now, THAT switch works. I can choose to have those lights on or off while the car is off, it's just that as soon as I turn the car on, those lights never turn off no matter what I do.

Is that normal behavior for this model or is something wrong?

Thanks a bunch guys.

EDIT:
I forgot to mention:
The dashboard light for the 'fog lights' is never on through any of this.
