I'm assuming you leave the switch in the headlight position?

Just turning the key off should drop the headlight relay and kill all lights.

Do the headlights go off when key is turned off?

You say "tail lights" stay on. Front parking lights too? (same circuit)

Do the tail lights go out if you turn the light switch off?

Probably a corroded/shorted Headlight relay, down under the hump on left side of driver's floorboard on '86. Look for harness with a Red/Green wire leading down to the relay -- which will also have 2 yellow wires and a white.
