You left the left turn signals switched on when you parked. Just move the signal lever to the center.

ah..you've discovered european parking lights 
I kinda freaked out when I saw it the first time on my 924S...kinda wierd they have them on US models. It's nothing unusual, just flip the turn signal to center like others have said.

my ducati has something similar with the turn signal and you turn the key past the parking lock and it has a secondary parking light that turns on. i thought i was crazy the first time someone told me my headlight was on i thought "WHAT? my key isn't in the ignition!" and sure enough it was on. Went to the ducati dealership thinking something was wrong and they said "Oh, that's just european parking lights if you're leaving it for a short period of time. Don't worry just make sure it's in the suspension lock and not in the parking lock mode.
