More than likely it is the ignition switch...try wiggling the key/turning it just slightly backward. Had the SAME thing happen when I installed my xenons, turned out it was the ignition switch.

It's either the light's switch or the ignition switch.
I'd venture a guess that it's the former.
Here are the DIY instructions to replace them both:

Happy Boxstering,

Thanks!

I'm leaning towards the light switch. It's on order.

I'll report back.

I got the same problem as you, it was the light switch, i remove it and clean it with contact cleaner and that resolve the problem.
