Exclamation Help!! Headlights stuck on!!

Hey guys I've been pulling my hair out the last 2 days trying to figure out why my headlights wont go out! Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!
I have hids. I did the ground mod about a year ago to the hibeam relay. They are stuck on hibeams and the only way to shut them off is by disconnecting the battery. What i have tried
- Swapped the headlight switch
- Swapped out the top 3 relays in the fuse box
- Checked most of the fuses

It is an 05 XLT

I can turn t he running lights on and off with the switch but thats it

My 08 did this..pull those HID's out and try again..solved my prob.. just put the stock lamps back in and hook up stock connectors to see if it fixes it before pulling all the HID stuff out..takes only a few minutes

Dude my buddy said the same damn thing! Lol I didnt want to believe it. What makes that do that? I've had the hids in for like 6 years now. My only concern is that we hardwired the hids in with quick connects because the stock harness plugs always became too lose
