No. They are only on with engine turned off at specific times with the doors unlocked. They turn on when you:
1. Unlock doors from a distance with remote
2. Walk near your car with key fob in your possession when car is unlocked
3. Turn car off after running, they stay on until you lock doors, or they time out at about thirty seconds.

To the OP: they are controlled by a microprocessor that has the white come on separate from the blue, then the blue is added. If you wired them to the headlights they would come on blue and white simultaneously. I believe the controller for them is under the console, but that may only control the dash panel illumination.
