If its both the parks and the headlights I'd suspect the switch.
You can take apart the column plastic and meter the switch if you are electronically inclined at all. If not, you are going to end up throwing parts at the problem. The switches do go bad though.

The switches do go bad though. u talkin about just a test light or like an amp meter...no accsess to meter.but im pretty sure its got to be the switch cause u can twist it a certain way and the parks come on and i can pull it back and the high beams will come on untill i let it go
