Exclamation Headlights are going crazy

For some reason my headlights wont turn off unless I pull the relay. Sometimes they wont even come on when the relay is in. When they do work with the relay in it makes a buzzing sound when I insert the relay. Please help. I've searched EVERYWHERE and for some reason people will not respond. I know I cant be the only person this has happened to. HALP.

You have to locate the headlight wire(s) and resolder/connect I think. Someone that had this happen should chime in.

this happened to me far too often. you need to unplug the loom from inside the footwell and re-route it through the engine bay. over the strut tower after you repaired it, that is.
