parking light trouble

ok, i installed my alarm the other day, and noticed the parking lights and ignition wire attached together. so anyways, i tried to figure out why(detached them). it seems that the parking lights don't come on for the headlight setting, only for the parking setting. i drive an 88 honda prelude, by the way. anyways, no reminder ding on headlights, just parks, and the clock dims for parks, not headlights. so i figure i have a bad wire, a bad switch(why would it send parking light power through 2 different wires for park/headlights settings?) or a bad relay if there is one. anyways, if someone can help me, please send me an email- joshfancy@hotmail.com and give me suggestions for things to try. i have searched the wire to the fuse block, and the connector was loose(before they never even came on for parks), so is there somewhere else i can look? and how do i take the switch for the headlights apart on a honda? maybe i can fix the switch?(or fix it so the parks stay on anyways, through the switch) PLEASE HELP!!thank you!josh

was it the same situation? if so then i can get an arm, i just don't want to get an arm to find out it is something else. know what i mean?
