could be a interior light inside the car itself or under the hood, or trunk even curb lights on the doors.

You clearly have a short somewhere in the car. If you are not good at finding a shorts, it may take a while but a simple method in finding a short would be to remove a fuse at a time and if the battery discharges you will know thats not the circuit with the sort.
