I hate to say it, but you need to have it checked by a dealer to determine what is causing the problem. Anything I tell you is just a guess.

Some system flashes the indicators, in this case the headlights, when doors are opened and can be turned off by reprogramming the system. However I am not able to find any reference to this feature in the fatory system.

If the security system is after market, you would need to find the instructions from the suppluier.

Otherwise, as Jacobandnickolas mentioned, you need the dealer to assist you.
