94 4runner lights won't shut off

PULLING MY HAIR OUT!!!! 94 4runner headlights won't shut off. I purchased a set of led headlights off ebay, installed them, but only had high beams, fought with those for a couple days, no luck sent them back, care installed stock headlights, and everything worked. ordered a different style from another vendor , installed them, and they kept blowing the fuses. Reinstalled the stock headlights, and now the lights will not shut off. Replaced the fuses, relay, and headlight switch. With the ignition and light switch off, the lights are on and the relay is buzzing.. Any help would be appreciated.

As the headlights ground via the headlight switch it is possible the pair that kept blowing the fuse.

Did some damage that is allowing them to ground hence they remain on.

Melted the wires or the sockets??


Did you ever figure out why the led bulbs were shorting out??

I would look at every thing some place between the head light socket and the switch.

Your looking at the Red/green stripe wire being shorted to ground.

If you pull the fuses in the under hood fuse block the lights should go out.
