Sounds like you somehow managed to get the car stuck on high-beams... Not that I know how to fix it off hand. I'd keep playing with the lights, at worst, ask a shop about it.

When are you checking? I ask because if you are checking in daylight, with the headlight switch off you may be seeing the daytime running lamps. When they come on they are actually the high beams (inside set of lights; the outside are the low beams) set to a lower voltage so they aren't as bright.
IF this is the case, putting the emergency brake on before turning the car on will disable the daytime running lamps. Turn the headlight switch on and see if you get dim and high then.
If not, sorry. I've never heard of this before.

No it happens at night.

Did you check fuses, god knows they are all over the place in that car. Did you recently go anything to that car...i have heard of this one other time but i never did find out what was the problem....i will look into it more and let you know

It really sounds like you messed up the "flash to pass" feature. Like you said, you heald it in for a while. Maybe you were holding it in too hard and broke it in the steering wheel. No clue how you're going to fix that one. But I bet that's what's wrong. I don't dare to take apart these steering wheels with airbags anymore.
