Does anyone know why my Drivers side outside rear RED Lamp comes on by itself after I shut my car off?

Thanks in Advance!!!

PS,
The only thing different is I did install my new Sprint Booster V2 which works great, but could that new foreign Sprint Booster V2 device have anything to do with my rear lamp coming on be itself, Could it be an I drive copmputer thing telling me something?

I'm thinking you're hitting the turn signal down on your way out the car.
I've done the same thing. With the car off pressing the turn signal down will light up the drivers side front and rear lights.
Up will do the passengers side.
Must be some european thing. I looked it up and I still don't get its purpose...

It is. European cars have this option because in many places people parallel park where the streets are narrow and dark at night. This option will help others avoid side swiping your car.
