headlights staying on.
alright so I just came home and my headlights are stuck on ( I pulled the fuses so it doesn't kill the battery ) but I pulled out my DRL fuse, pulled out both headlamp control fuses and the lights still stayed on.
as soon as I pulled my left and right headlight fuse they both turned off put them back in stayed on. flash my highs they stay on ( the lows ) anyone have a clue???

have you tried physically disconnecting the light from the wiring? also are you running HIDs?

yes im running HID's and no I didn't try disconnecting the bulbs but I figured pulling the fuse is the same thing. I am starting to think its a ground issue

Is your ballast touching metal? Our headlights are switched on the ground.

i think cliff is onto something, it's probably not making a solid contact and therefore only doing it if the conditions are perfect
