Default electrical problem-DRL

i have a 96 accord. i have a problem with my DRL and high beam. i dont know how it usually works but this is what happens. when all the light switch is in off position, the DRL(orange) and high beam(blue) indicator icons are lit. then i check the front lights, no DRL are lit. however, when i turn the head lights on, both the indicators are unlit. when i switch my headlights to high beam, only the left high beam light, but the right one doesnt. with this on hand, i replaced my high beam light ( i think its the HB3). but it still does same problem. i am sure the one i bought works.
how can i fix this, is there a problem with my relay, what relay and where? are the wires grounded? if so, how do i trace it? what is the reason for this.?

thank you in advance for your reply.

You have the OEM DRL? or did you do a conversion.

If you were messing with the wires to do the DRL conversion on a USDM Accord remember that headlights are usually ground triggered.

Sounds like you got some crazy cross wiring going on. My suggestion: get a headlamp wiring diagram and put everything back to stock and start what ever you were trying to do over again. Good luck.
