You may have an issue with the colume mounted l/s Multifunction switch. The easiest way to check it out is to remove the two piece colume covers and unplug the switch.
If they go out, it's the switch assembly
If they don't, suspect a pinched wire in the circuit where it's getting power from an adjacent live wire.

Considering these are traditionally the lamps that the alarm system flashes when it arms / disarms, would it be reasonable to assume the alarm might be keeping them on?

might want to unplug the alarm master control unit and see what that does. the alarm might have fried certain parts of it if it got shorted causing some features to work and others to not work
