Default Headlights will not turn off

My friend has a 3rd gen Accord and the headlights will not turn off. Has anyone heard of this problem?

If not the switch, then maybe the headlight relay stuck closed?
This is what DMM's are for...

Probably what happened. Disconnect the battery until you figure out what's happening.

basically u got a short somewhere thats all.. check the fuses, wires and plugs.. if u cant find the problem completely u can always bypass the controls for ur head lights and wire a kill switch (kinda like the lights in ur house) and turn it on/off when need be. its a simple wiring fix until u got time to really dyno the car and see
