Default head lights wont turn off...

im at work and just notice my lights on, not the tail or the turn signals just head lights and driving lights. when ill pull switch all out sides lights come on. checked fuses and pulled the three relays under the dash and put them back in. and i could be crazy but i think there were off and then came back on. i normally turn off jeep first then lights so they stay on for a min. i cant even find a fuse to just unplug them. so im assuming its a relay somewhere and how can i turn them off so my batt dont die?

fiddled with it and got the lights off but i can hear the relay buzz after the keys off and the lights turn them self off but i cant find that relay. anyone know what one it is? im sure it bad and will leave me with a dead batt in no time.
