Headlight gone wild

At first, I thought it was my left side headlight that didn't light up but after I realize that my lights weren't supposed to be on, I knew that it was my right side headlight that was on for no reason! What's the problem? How can I fix that?

First off, take out those high wattage bulbs; (You have aftermarket bulbs in, right? Your headlight harness is fried. Either get an aftermarket 9004 harness, or an OEM one. Aftermarket is better, because you can use high wattage bulbs, and it is much easier to install than the OEM harness.

Thx for the reply but no I don't have high wattage bulbs, I recently changed from the stock bulb to Phillips BlueVision (not high wattage) but I got this problem before I changed the bulb so it's not the problem is not the bulb. And if my harness was burnt, wouldn't the light unable to light up?

If you didn't use high wattage bulbs, it still sounds like a harness problem. A short some where, possibly in you headlight stalk itself or in the wires to the headlight. I have read about this on here somewhere, but it maybe your stalk. Check the fuses, relays, and the headlight plug.
