Default Lights auto on and won't turn off

Tao New Cheetah 125cc(120cc)
brand new.Installed battery.
Headlights and taillights turned on automatically.
Key in off position engine off.
They stay on until i disconnect the battery or unplug the harnesses that lead to each light.
this model has daytime running lights. They should only turn on when the atv is running or at least only with key in the on position.
No light switch on this model.
I assume the key/starter switch would control this. On position lights on, off position lights off.
I can start the ATV just fine though. And the lights stay on while atv is running.
All electronics we're connected from factory. So everything looks correct nothing was crimped during my part of the assembly. Main fuse is good.

Any suggestions?


**update**
Got it fired up and going today finally!
Here's what i did.
First fix was replacing the Voltage regulator. That fixed the lights always on issue.
Then i had no spark.
Second fix was replacing the Stator after using a multi meter to rule out the battery, relay coil, and the ignition. Also Connected new CDI and checked for spark, before checking stator, still no spark so i put original back on. Got to stator and got an open line ohm reading when connected one lead to black/red power wire and other to green ground at the plug. So i changed the Stator (super easy on these, don't have to pull fly wheel). Reconnected everything and still no spark. So i swapped in the spare CDI again and boom! I got spark back.

Not sure exactly how the connection is between it all(maybe someone could explain how this exactly happened) but im thinking crossing the battery somehow messed up the voltage regulator, Stator and CDI and the fix was replacing all 3. Hope this helps someone else.
