Yeah I get it on occasions along with the needle on the gauge showing empty, usually after I've filled up, sorts itself out after 2 or3 miles though, you've probably got a loose connection somewhere if the lights staying on.

Sounds like your float is stuck inside the tank. Just use the odometer

Check the manual, see if there's a fuse you can pull

If you have the flush mount led fuel gauge, there is a bypass wire (usually grey) that is hooked up so that light will stay off. Check the connection of that wire, I had mine come loose before. You'll find it right under the tank where the fuel gauge wires are.
