There is a relay (somewhere) that switched the light from LOW to HIGH There is a good chance it has failed and stuck on HIGH Look under the hood and there should be a black plastic box with a bunch of relays. On the inside of the lid it will tell you what the relays are for.....pull the HI-LO beam relay and the lights will go out. Many of the relays in the box will be the same part number. you can pull another relay (one that is not presently being used ) and see if that fixes the problem
