If they don't go out you have a defective photoeye. Take a bright flashlight, laser etc and shine it directly on the face of the photo-eye for a short time and the lights should go out. This type of photo-eye has electronics in it that increase the resistance and stop the flow of electricity when light hits the sensor. With the light switch on you need to test the photo-eyes circuit. I will assume the lights do go out when the switch is off. If the lights remain on with the switch off (Highly doubtful) you have something messed up. Turn the light switch off first to make sure the lights do in fact turn off to isolate the problem to the wiring at the photocell or the photocell itself.

The light switch should always remain in the on position for the photocell to operate automatically.
