Headlights won't go off

So, i've obviously searched the forum and haven't seen this exact thing, so I figured i'd bring it up. Basically, all of a sudden, my headlights appear to be stuck on. They don't go down when I flip the switch, however the the dash lights go off accordingly.
Anyone else had this? I'm going to search for a short, but if anyone has had this happen and has any useful input it would be helpful.
Also, and maybe importantly, what's weird is that I get the beep beep once in a while signaling that the key is still in the ignition even when it's not. Has a anyone seen a faulty ignition switch cause these type of light issues?
Thanks.

Maybe this wiring diagram for the headlights will help; from my '94 FWM. My guess would be that your Headlight Relay (upper right corner of the schematic) has stuck contacts, keeping the relay closed. (But electrical stuff is weird...)
