its your headlight stalk, i have the same problem after i replaced mine due to the headlights not going back down. go to your local junkyard, theyll have some stalks there.

Has the car ever had higher wattage bulbs in it? If so, you've burned the switch up.

Keep the bulbs stock wattage or upgrade the harness, the OE switch is a high current device and is only designed to handle the load of the OE bulbs. Anything else puts too much resistance on it.
