Default Headlights wont turn off... HELP!!

alright here's the story... i went to go pickup a girl from work one day and when i got there i turned my headlight switch off and they stayed on- so i turned my car off and they still stayed on... no matter what i do my headlights(my high beams work fine) stay on... the only way to turn them off is to unplug the light bulbs... its been like this for about a week and everytime i have to turn them on/off i have to go and plug/unplug them manually... needless to say this is a pain in the ***... it did stop though for a little while when i was at my buddies house but it started happening again about 15 minutes later... any ideas? thanks guys

i did a search for you (do it yourself next time) and it says that their is either no relay, or its in the switch.

do you know where the main relay is? its near the hood pulling thing. try that first. when your lights are on, disconnect the main relay, those things are known to go bad in 88-91 ef.
