Your saying your headlights stay on all the time, or won't come on?

The wires on top are voltage, high and low beam. The black wire is ground for the headlamps. From the headlamp switch, when the headlamps are turned on, the yellow wire carries to the dimmer switch, then the dimmer switch sends voltage to headlamps. You may also need to check voltage feed to the headlamp switch, for the headlamps.
