I have never seen this before. I was driving home and hit a little bump and the highbeams came on by themselves. Nothing happens when I try to turn them off. I don't see anything out of place. Any help would be great. Thanks
 
Did you have the headlight switch on so the low beams were on when this happened? If so, you either have a bad column hi/low switch or a short to ground on the non +12v side of the high beams. Without the headlight switch on, the headlight relay would not provide power to either hi or low beam lights (unless the relay was stuck on in which case the low beams would always be on).
 
Thanks for your help. I actually traced to down to the drivers highbeam bulb. I've never seen anything like this, but it's all fixed now. Thanks
