Default Head lamps open

I just replaced my battery on my 01 Z06. As soon as I connected the battery the headlights opened. The lights did not come on. The lights work when I turn the headlight switch on and shut off when I shut the switch off, but the headlights do not retract. I manually lowered the lights. The lights open properly when the switch is activated, but do not retract when shut off. I disconnected the battery, and when I reconnected the battery the lights(both) opened up again.
Any ideas?

HID lights?

Try it with the high beams selected?

I have the original headlights.
I tried with the Hi beams selected but no difference. The lights went out but the headlights stayed up.
