When bringing my trailer home over the weekend I noticed that the lights to my truck ('14 Chevy Silverado) were on (not just the DRLs but the actual headlights and taillights).

Since you can't see either the headlights or the tail lights from the driver's seat, how do you know they were on?

The lights on the dash and control panel came on. Those aren't on with just the DRLs.

I have a 2017 F-150 XLT and the dash and control panel lights don't come on with the headlights. They have their own light sensor. In modern vehicles, they may not be a good indicator that the headlights are on. Test that the next time. When that happens again, stop and get out of your vehicle and look at the vehicle tail lights to see if they are on.
