where is the headlight relay?

my headlight relay is messed up on my T2.

the problem is, when i get out and use the hand screws to pop the headlights up, they stay up until i turn off the lights, then they go down on their own (via the headlight motors) and i want the headlights to just stay up all the time.
so do i need to disconnect the relay or disconnect the headlight motors? regardless, i dont know where the relay or the motors are... can someone help me out?

Rotate the **** just above the headlight switch. It's there so you can clean & service the lights..

um. the headlights dont go up dude. thats the problem. the relay is broken so the motor only works when you turn them off, not on.

It really sounds like its in the switch assy instead of the relay. That headlight relay does not seem to be involved in the up/down motion. I could be wrong. Here's a jpg

Well the site has decided I don't need to jpg you the lighting schematic. I tried four times 0[9aewur0-if]pnvkmmfjf'poj so I'm displeased again.

I pulled my headlight relay and the headlights go up and down. If you could have seen the lighting schematic you'd see why. But this site does not want you to see the schematic.
