Default headlight issue

I put my headlights on this am to the driving/parking light position. worked fine. engine running. i then tuned on my head lights after pulling out of my garage and they would not go up. I shut the lights off and back on not stopping in the parking/fog light position and still they would not go up.

i then put the car in park did the same thing. I shut the car off and then turned on the lights and they went up and on. fine.

got to work shut them off with the engine running and they would not go back up. shut the engine off and they went on when i tried them

hope that was not confusing...

any thoughts? This is my DD so I kinda need a solution quick.

I was thinking of pulling the battery for like 20min to see what happens.

This just started today..

any help is appreciated.

CJ

I had this same thing happen to me after installing an HID kit; did you ever find a fix? I'm scratching my head over this one....
