I would check the connector first. Remove the lower steering column cover and you'll see the connector at the base of the switch. Wiggle each wire a bit with the switch in the parklight position and see if anything changes.

I know it's has been a while since I replied, but the lights began to work on its own. Recently it got worst. I tried everything you said but still no positive results.

I got a headlight switch from a crash yaris to try. Good new was that it worked. But I was wondering how difficult would it be to swap this part.

Headlight switch is not all that bad to replace. It does require removing the steering wheel and clockspring though. Here's a video of mine that shows what is involved:
