Default Yet another strange electric issue

Last friday I stopped my car for some gas and when I turned off the engine half of the car lights didn´t went off (right side) so I had a car with left side lights off - and right side still on.
Luckily when I started again the engine I could get the lights to work normal again (all 4 corners on or off at the same time)

Has any of suffer this same issue? any ideas?

You mean your side light / rear light? If so - it's because you left your indicator (turn signal) on when you switched the engine off. That keeps the lights on for that side of the car (it's a safety thing I think). Normal operation!

yes, parking lights so if you want to leave safety lights when parked half in road on a dark street, you don't need to use up as much battery as you would by leaving all 4 side lights on.
