Angry High and Low beams on all the time

1st time to post.My FJ62 has a problem that both the high and low beams
come on when you turn the light switch on.The high beam switch light goes on and off like it should but the high beams stay on all the time.
any ideas?
Thanks

Likely a short in the high beam circuit and/or dimmer/combo switch. The headlight relay typically supplies power to the headlight bulbs then it is grounding the low or high beam filaments that makes one or the other light turn on. With a hard ground, those lights would be on all the time:
