the lights stay on and drain my
battery I know I need to replace
the switch on the steering column

battery since the light is still on
the dash

There is a relay (somewhere) that switched the light from LOW to HIGH There is a good chance it has failed and stuck on HIGH Look under the hood and there should be a black plastic box with a bunch of relays. On the inside of the lid it will tell you what the relays are for.....pull the HI-LO beam relay and the lights will go out. Many of the relays in the box will be the same part number. you can pull another relay (one that is not presently being used ) and see if that fixes the problem
