The hedlights are always on whne driving. When it is dry...generally all winter the headlights go off when the E-brake is engaged. This does not happen when damp....lights stay on despite E-brake being engaged.
"missfire on all cylinders"
Did the headlight occur recently, or the "symptom" was there since you acquired the car ?
If 2nd scenario: your vehicle may have a feature called "daytime running lights". The system knows when it is dark outside (or if the amount of light falling onto the car falls below a pre-setting), by monitoring a sensor usually located on the dash board, near the windshield. If you DO happen to locate such a sensor on your car, the simplest way to test your curiosity is to point a flash light at the sensor when it is dark. While doing that, should the lights go out, your car's behavior falls within normal operating parameters.
If 1st scenario is unfortunately true, there may be an electrical problem. You should know that almost (if not all) vehicles produced after 1996 have OBD (on-board diagnostic) ports, so that if you take your car to a shop, they'll let you kno where the problem is.
That should also tell you why your engine "missfires on all cylinders", make sure you mention it, if you should ever consider servicing your car (never go near dealers with such shit, unless it's under warranty)
Most likely your vehicle's ingnition coil pack might be gone.
That would also give your more insight about your windows.
Good luck
