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?

sounds like the daytime running light module.
