My car is off. My switch for the headlights is off. My headlights are off when i leave the car. During the night the headlamp bulbs randomly turn on and stay on, thus draining my battery.

Hi Tschroeder22,

Thank you for the donation.

I would suggest checking the relays to ssee if any are faulty and self applying.

Check the switch assy, look for signs of overheating at the switch.
