Can't see how this can happen.
Lights work by applying 12V to one side, and earth to the other.
The 12V is supplied via the fuse.
The switch can either the supply the 12V (from the fuse), or switch the earth.

If the correct fuse is pulled then there is no 12V, and no light.

The only possible way is the lights are getting their source from somewhere else. Indicators, Reverse, Trailer, Brakes.

I reckon you pulled the wrong fuse.
