Check the lamp control module which is in the front power distribution box which is at the left rear corner of the engine compartment. The lamp module is the long narrow one nearest the fender.

Maybe you'll get off lucky & it will snap out of it by simply unplugging, giving it a rap, & plugging it in again (verify if you need to disconnect the battery before doing this, noting radio code & std. precautions)

last night when I was about to park my car, I attempted to shut down the headlights with the switch but to no avail. I then tried pulling fuses;-still on. I finally disconnected the lights at the bulbs. My ass is twitching and i'm thinking that this is yet another example of needless complexity. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Bill
