Do they go off when you're out driving at night? The lights will slightly light up at night as you approach the car. They detect the key fob. Try leaving the key fob away after you've locked the car. Then check if they are staying on.

Ther'e always slightly on... If i approach the car with the fob they becomes brighter... If i lock the car with door button they almost turns off and immediately dim up to the level that they keeps illuminated all night...

This morning when i arrived at work and locked the car, they were flickering a little bit... Seems like a ground problem or something... But where...?!

Try looking at the dimmer switch, and upper console switches. Is the dimmer locked on full brightness? Also switch the upper console switches to on/off with door opening. Check for sticking door latches, and door plungers.
