The most likely cause is probably a failing dimmer switch. 

 

Another possibility is a  malfunctioning body control module itself. You can sometimes fix (or reset) by disconnecting the battery for half hour. 


On some cars the headlights are controlled by a relay. You can test this by tapping the top of the relay. If the lights go out, the relay is sticking and needs replacement. Sometimes the relay contacts have welded themselves together,  locking the headlights on. You can test this by substituting the headlights relay with a different one. 

 

You can disable the headlights by pulling fuse #7 (driver low beam) and fuse #8 (passengr low beam.) (Check this, I'm only guessing as to what car you have.)

 

Best method is to connect an  OBD-II and read any codes present. (This will not show and body control module problems issues, need a more advanced reader for that.)
